On 6 November 2008, the Cabinet had approved a projected procurement savings target of £1.5 million for 2009/10 for those areas of expenditure involving corporate contracts.  A report by the Director of Finance informed of progress towards achieving this savings target and other procurement initiatives that had a direct impact on service departments, and also outlined possible additional procurement efficiencies for 2010-11.

Resolved:- That

(1)  The procurement efficiencies delivered in 2009/10 be noted.

(2)  Procurement efficiencies from corporate contracts estimated at £682,000 be agreed for 2010/11.
