Minutes:
The
Executive Member for Finance and Governance and the Director of Finance
submitted a report for the Executive’s consideration. The purpose of the report
was to request approval of Middlesbrough Council’s tender pipeline for 2021/22 and
agree delegation of award to the relevant Director, in consultation with their
Executive Member.
A tender
pipeline for April 2021 to 31 March 2022 had been developed as part of the
Council’s work programme. In order to strengthen governance over procurement,
it was requested that the Executive agreed the intended procurement activity
and delegated authority for contract award to the relevant Director, in
consultation with their Executive Member.
Whilst a
tender pipeline had never previously been presented, the Specialist
Commissioning and Procurement Senior Manager wanted to further strengthen
internal governance arrangements.
The tender
pipeline would be a live record which would be maintained by the Commissioning
and Procurement Team and available for the supplier market to view on the
Council’s website.
In the event
that new tenders were added during the year, then individual Executive reports
would be presented.
ORDERED
That the tender pipeline for 2021/22 be
approved, including the delegation of responsibility for award to the relevant
Director in consultation with their Executive Member.
REASON
To further strengthen governance
arrangements for procurement activity undertaken by the Council.
