Decision details

On 26 September 2024 the Political Governance Working Group recommended that a forward plan of Key Decision procurement processes for the 2025/26 financial year was to be formulated and presented for approval to Cabinet prior to the commencement of the 2025/26 financial year. This process would then be repeated on an annual basis prior to the start of each financial year.

In line with the county council's Procurement Rules, this report sets out a recommendation to approve the commencement of the identified procurement exercises in 2025/26.

At the conclusion of the procurement process, any award of contract will be made under Section 9.52 (51) of the county council's Scheme of Delegation to Officers.

This is deemed to be a Key Decision and the requirements of the council's Cabinet procedure rules (Standing Order C18, Consideration of Key Decisions) have been complied with.

The Cabinet approved the recommendation(s) as set out in the report.
