Procurement - 'Breaking Down Barriers for Local Suppliers' - Draft CPR Clauses.

Minutes:

The Category Manager presented the draft CPR Rules resulting from the workshops which looked at ‘breaking down barriers for local suppliers’. He specifically highlighted Paragraph 15 which dealt with: -

 

·                Definition of Local Area

·                Consideration of the Social, Economic and Environmental Benefits when awarding contracts

·                Restricting competition to the Local Area

·                Definition of Local Supplier;  

·                Opt out clause where the Council could opt out of using a Local Supplier where its use would over burden the Council.

 

The process to amend the CPR Rules would entail Consultation followed by Constitutional Working Group.

 

A discussion ensued the draft CRR Rules which focussed on the following: -

 

·                Financial Limits and when the CPR Rules would apply

·                Effect of EU Regulations

·                Extent of area defined by ‘Local Supplier’ and whether further areas should be added / removed

·                Whether Social, Economic & Environmental benefits was the best terminology or whether a term such as Community Benefits could be better

·                Position where a local supplier met one of the benefits i.e. economic benefits but was detrimental to one or both of the others i.e. social and environmental

·                Approved Lists / Framework Agreements

·                Report from procurement to show areas procured

·                Effect and consideration of the Well-Being of Future Generations (Wales) Act

 

Following discussions the amendments below were proposed to the draft CPR Rules: - 

 

·                Whether an alternative term could replace Social, Economic & Environmental Benefits

·                The rules should clarify that meeting one benefit i.e. economic should not be at the expense of the other benefits.

 

Resolved that: -

 

1)        The amended draft CPR Rules be circulated to the Committee;

2)        The Category Manager supply a report to the Committee on areas currently procured from;

3)        The Sustainable Swansea Programme Manager provide clarity on the position of the use of approved lists within the Highway Department

4)        The Draft CPR Rules be put out for consultation
