Decision details

With reference to article 11 of the minute of the meeting of the Strategic Commissioning Committee of 20 November 2018, the Committee had before it a report by the Director of Commissioning which (1) presented the additional procurement workplans since the Committee’s meeting on 20 November 2018 for the Customer, Operations and Resources Functions for review; and (2) sought approval of the total estimated expenditure for each proposed contract as contained in the Procurement Business Cases appended to the report. There were no additions to the procurement workplans for the Commissioning, Place and Governance Functions since the previous meeting of the Committee and therefore the workplans for these Functions were not presented.

The report recommended:-

that the Committee –

(a)             review the workplans of the Customer, Operations, and Resources Functions as detailed in the Appendices;

(b)             where a Business Case had been submitted, approve the total estimated expenditure for each proposed contract as per the Procurement Business Cases and workplans, as required by ACC Procurement Regulation 4.1.1 as detailed in section 3.1 of the report;

(c)             note that Business Cases for procurements exercises to be commenced after 29 January 2019 would be submitted on a phased basis to future meetings of the Strategic Commissioning Committee, and

(d)             approve direct award of any contracts where there were special circumstances detailed in the business case which justified not going out to tender or calling-off from a framework agreement.

The Committee resolved:-

to approve the recommendations.
