To approve the Strategy for the joint
procurement service
That the Cabinet approves and adopts the Shared Procurement Service Joint Procurement Strategy 2024–2030, attached as Appendix A to report FIN/629.
Reasons for the Recommendations
The spend across the four councils is over £100m and is crucial to the way we deliver our core and discretionary services to our local communities. How the councils’ source and deliver these services has a direct impact on the ways in which local people, communities and businesses judge the value that we provide and the quality of outcomes that we achieve.
The Joint Procurement Strategy establishes the Council’s approach to buying these goods, works and services in a legally compliant and cost-effective way, whilst meeting sustainability and social value outcomes.
