Minutes:
The Constitution Committee at its meeting on 22nd September 2011 had considered proposed amendments to the Council’s Contract Procedure Rules.
At its meeting on 14th July 2011, the Committee had deferred consideration of a report on revised Contract Procedure Rules to enable further work to be carried out. Council at its meeting on 21st July had noted the Committee’s decision and resolved that in the interim, the financial threshold at which the Rules require a formal tendering procedure be increased from £50,000 to £75,000. The Committee had resolved to recommend the revised Rules to Council.
The proposed amendments to the Contract Procedure Rules were outlined in the Committee’s report and highlighted in the Appendix to the report. These included making permanent the change to the financial threshold for tendering.
RESOLVED
That the amendments to the Contract Procedure Rules (as set out in the Appendix of the report to the Constitution Committee) be approved and the Constitution be amended accordingly.
