Content

RESOLVED

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.
