Issue - meetings

The Cabinet considered the Council's revised Corporate Procurement Strategy 2088/11.  Mr. Alex Haslam, the Council's Procurement Advisor, was present and provided Members with a background to the Strategy. 

The Strategy defined the role of procurement in the delivery of the Council's strategic objectives and set out the key policies and activities relating to procurement.  The Council was committed to procure best value for money supplies, services and construction works and would continually review and develop the Strategy to assist in meeting this objective.  Mr. Haslam advised that the first tranche of procurement training for suppliers had taken place at the Council the previous week, which had been well attended and proved to be very successful.    

RESOLVED that the Corporate Procurement Strategy 2008/11 at Appendix 1 to the report be approved.
