The Mayor noted and agreed the reasons for urgency included in the report.
Caroline Holland, (Interim Corporate Director, Resources) and Peter Maskell, (Interim Head of Procurement)provided further details on the report and contracts therein.
The Cabinet discussed the importance of Social Value in the procurement process and the possibility of increasing the Social Value weighting to 10%.The Mayor agreed to amend the recommendations to reflect a 10% Social Value weighting for all contracts in the report and going forward. He believed this would provide local people with job and training opportunities and support local small and medium businesses in the supply chain. Caroline and Peter asked the Mayor to note the proposal may require some further discussion on the details of implementation with the Mayor and Lead Member.
The Mayor thanked officers for their work and welcomed the report with amended recommendations.
