The Cabinet considered a report of the Executive Director (Finance and Resources) presenting the annual procurement plan for 2020/21 in terms of those procurements with a contract value in excess of £1m which require Cabinet approval prior to commencement.

Resolved:

1. That those procurements provided in the submitted appendix for 2020/21, be approved (£1m+ contract value).

2. That the full procurement plan for 2020/21 (contracts with a value of £25k and above), be noted.

3. That it be noted that those capital projects already approved as part of the capital programme (with a value of over £25k) will also form part of the procurement plan for 2020/21, be noted.

4. That the development and contents of the corporate contracts register, be noted.

5. That the development and contents of the 3 year procurement pipeline plan (2020-23), be noted.

Other Options

Annual approval of the Council’s procurement plan is required under the constitution.

Reasons for Recommendation

Councillors are aware of the development of the comprehensive contracts register and 3 year procurement pipeline plan, and the benefits this will provide in terms of the Council’s commissioning plans, financial planning as well as future planning for suppliers and local businesses
