Agenda item

Report of the Town Clerk.

The Sub Committee received an updated schedule of outstanding actions. Members noted that some would be taken off after this meeting and others would be discussed under items later in the agenda.

In response to a Member’s query concerning the City of London Procurement Services (CLPS), officers reported that recruitment was ongoing for the Head of CLPS vacancy and that, so far, savings of £1.62 million had been achieved which was on track for the year’s target of £7 million.

Members discussed the Staff Suggestion Scheme mentioned under point 7.3, and the Deputy Town Clerk reported that around 140 suggestions had been received in response to an invitation to contribute to the Service Based Review process. These were currently being explored. Some of these mirrored existing proposals and some were new ideas to be considered.

RESOLVED – That:

(a)  The report be noted; and

(b)  Future Finance Committee reports on the City of London Procurement Service also be presented to Efficiency & Performance Sub Committee meetings.
