RESOLVED: That the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee
noted the report.
 

RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL: The adoption of the
updated Contract Procurement Rules for 2024-25.
 
REASONS FOR
RECOMMENDATION:
 

(1)  
The Contract Procurement Rules (CPRs) are part of the Council
Constitution (under Section 20) and must be regularly reviewed and
updated as part of the Council’s governance and procurement
review processes. This contributes to the Council’s system of
effective internal control.
 

(2)  
The new CPRs reflect a significant update in line with the
requirements of the Procurement Act 2023, incorporating detailed
procedural guidance, and enhanced compliance and transparency
measures. These changes aim to improve the efficiency,
accountability, and effectiveness of the Council's procurement
activities.
