A report by the Chief Executive sought the Cabinet’s approval to award two contracts: Voluntary, Community and Faith Sector Support and General Advice Service.  This followed a full tender process conducted in accordance with European Procurement Legislation.  It was proposed that the contracts should be awarded to the most economically advantageous tender.

Tender details were provided in the Appendix to the report which was not for publication by virtue of paragraph(s) 3 of part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972.  (Minute No. 355 (a) refers.)

RESOLVED: That

(1)   the Cabinet approves the award of contracts for Voluntary, Community and Faith Sector Support and General Advice Service to the highest scoring tender; and

(2)  the results of the evaluation as set out in Appendix 1, which is not for publication as it contains commercially sensitive information, be noted.
