Report of the Chair of the Constitution Working Group

The Chair of the Constitution Working group, Councillor Colin Hay, introduced the report and explained that to ensure that the Council’s Contract Rules reflected the latest statutory requirements GO Shared Services had designed a common Procurement and Contract Management Strategy for all of the partner councils. This would be supported by a new common set of Contract Rules prepared by One Legal which had been considered by the Constitution Working Group.

In response to a question it was confirmed that Cheltenham Borough Homes, Ubico and the Cheltenham Trust would also have to comply to the latest statutory requirements.

RESOLVED (unanimously) THAT

The contract rules be approved.
