Report No. 16/2019

Minutes:

Report No.16/2019 was received from the Strategic Director for Resources.

 

Mr Hemsley, Leader of the Council, introduced the report the purpose of which was to seek delegated authority to award a Printing contract as the Council seeks to reduce printing costs and achieve environmental benefits.

 

During discussion the following points were noted:

 

·         Officers would consider how to present RAG ratings in reports so that they were easily discernible but without the use of colour.

·         Some meetings were trying a paperless approach which meant that by only using screens, information was still available in colour.

·         Paperless should be the preferred position for new Members but ultimately a choice would be given.

 

DECISION:

 

1.    Cabinet DELEGATED to the Strategic Director for Resources, the decision to award a printing contract for the new printers from an existing framework.

 

Reason for the decision

 

1.    Through the use of the Direct Award process for the procurement of the printer supplier, we will ensure that we can obtain a value for money solution in the short time we have available before the current contract is terminated.
