Minutes:
Councillor N Rushton presented the report, which informed Cabinet of exemptions from the Contract Procedure Rules made by Statutory Officers in Quarter 2 of 2020/21 as required by the constitution.
The three cases detailed in the report were in relation to Agile ICT to enable staff to work from home, Payroll software to extend the arrangement with the current supplier, and the installation of virtual meeting equipment in the Council Chamber. In all three cases, a robust procedure had been followed including a clear case made by the lead officer, legal and procurement advice being sought prior to consideration by the Section 151 Officer, Head of Paid Service and Monitoring Officer.
It was noted by Cabinet that the areas in which exemptions had been sought were essential to the smooth running of the Council and the report correctly set out the reasons why these had been urgent.
It was moved by Councillor N Rushton, seconded by Councillor R Bayliss and
RESOLVED THAT:
Cabinet notes the exemptions made by Statutory Officers to the Contract
Procedure Rules.
Reason for decision: To note the exemptions as required by the constitution.
