Procurement Plan / Higher Value Contracts

Record of the Decision

Consideration was given to a report that sought approval for the award of three planned higher value contracts where the value exceeded the limit on officer delegated authority and which were either funded within the approved MTFP/ Capital Programme or were subject to a bid for external funding.

RESOLVED that:-

1. The contracts listed in Annex 1 of the report be approved.

2. The relevant Director or Assistant Director be given authority to make the specific contract award decision and any subsequent contract variation, annual inflationary uplifts (where allowed in the contract terms and conditions) and extension decision in accordance with the delegations listed in Annex 1 of the report.
