Discussion:
The Assistant Director of Housing and Corporate Services introduced the report that gave an overview of the importance of the Council’s Forward Procurement Plan (FPP) and Contracts register and how its uptake and use could ensure the achievement of effective contract monitoring.
The committee was advised that although in paragraph 4.1 of the report it stated that the register detailed all procurement activities in excess of £100,000, this would now list everything over £15,000 and so inevitably it would include a lot more contracts than previously.
Members asked about the schedules for each specific project as they wished them to contain clear start and finish dates and other indicators to allow successful monitoring of progress of the contract.
Decision:
The committee noted the report.
