Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendations.

The Chief Executive introduced the report and the business case for the 3 County Procurement Project between Flintshire, Denbighshire and Gwynedd County Councils.

The business case had been agreed by the project board and by Cabinets at Denbighshire and Gwynedd and demonstrated how a category management approach to procurement implemented across 3 Councils could realise major procurement improvements and savings for each Council.  This was supported by a procurement support service which was already in place for Flintshire and Denbighshire.

The remaining Councils in the region had the option to enter the consortium at a later date.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the final business case for the 3 County Procurement Project be endorsed and the project to move to implementation stage; and

(b)       That regular progress reports be submitted to Cabinet, the next being in the autumn.
