Report of the Chamberlain

The Sub Committee considered a report of the Chamberlain updating Members on the work of City Procurement, key performance indicators and areas of progress.

Officers advised that on the whole, City Procurement was performing well despite the ongoing challenges.  Although payment performance was below target, further investigation would be undertaken, and measures put in place to support improvements in performance. Throughout the reporting period, Covid-19 had continued to create significant new additional work such as grants and rebate payments, all of which were processed through the Accounts Payable Team.  The comparative data on other London Boroughs was trickling through and would be presented to Members as further details emerged.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
