Decisions

Councillor E Buckmaster submitted a report for noting on a contract procedure exemption in respect of the leisure centre site at Grange Paddocks.  He explained that due to time constraints due process had been conducted by obtaining five quotations and that there was a saving from procuring specialist services rather than being undertaken through the Pre-construction Service Agreement.

RESOLVED – to note the contract procedure exemption.
