Executive Mayor in Cabinet
RESOLVED:

2.1           
to approve the 18-month Procurement Pipeline as set
out in Appendix A.

2.2           
to approve the delegated decisions over
£500,000 in value within the Procurement Pipeline to those
Lead Members or Officers as stated in Appendix A, that includes the
procurement strategy and award decisions, the duration of the
contracts and contract values.

2.3           
that delegated decisions shall only be exercised
following recommendations from the Contracts & Commissioning
Board, which include approval from both the Lead Cabinet Member and
the Cabinet Member for Finance.

2.4           
to allow for minor changes to proceed whilst
retaining the agreed delegation so long as none of the following
thresholds for changes are exceeded:

        
i.       
Contract
value exceeds that proposed in the Procurement Pipeline, by the
lesser of £500K or 25%, or the new aggregate value exceeds
£1m and it becomes a key decision

      
ii.       
Substantial
/ material changes to procurement from that defined in the
Procurement Pipeline e.g. material risks are identified

(Should either of those thresholds be exceeded, the
delegation cannot be exercised, and the decision shall be
recommended to the Executive Mayor, unless a further delegation is
approved. Where a
delegated decision is a Key Decision to Officers, it must be made
in consultation with the Lead Cabinet Member).

2.5           
to note the improvements to the pipeline format as
set out in section 4.4 of the report.
