Since the Corporate Procurement Strategy (CPS) was approved by Cabinet, in December 2003, the procurement agenda both inside and outside the Council had progressed.  Cabinet on 5 October 2005, approved the adoption of a revised Corporate Procurement Strategy (CPS). The Director of Finance presented a report which sought Members approval to a revised Strategy which would determine the procurement activity of the Council for the next three years.

The revised CPS was designed to address the changing agenda and carry the procurement activity of the Council forward to achieve efficiencies and savings.

Resolved:  That the revised Corporate Procurement Strategy be  approved.
