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 |
