Minutes:
The Committee received and considered a report which outlined proposals to change Contract Standing Orders (the rules for letting contracts) to reflect the Public Contract Regulations 2015.
In response to a concern regarding the threshold at which contracts were awarded by the relevant Committee, it was noted that there were very few contracts awarded between the thresholds of £500,000 and £750,000. Therefore in practice, the vast majority high value contracts were awarded by the relevant Committee.
Accordingly, the Committee approved the new Contract Standing Orders and recommended to the Council that the Constitution be updated accordingly.
