City of London Corporation Procurement Code 2015

The City of London Corporation’s procurement regulations require updating to reflect EU Procurement Directives and to bring them into line with new legislation introduced by the Government in 2015 (specifically the UK Public Contract Regulations 2015 and the Small Business and Employment Act 2015). These changes have been incorporated into a revised City of London Corporation Procurement Code 2015, along with a number of recommended operational changes to drive further procurement efficient and savings.

Your Finance Committee considered and approved the proposed Procurement Code in September 2015, subject to a small number of amendments which have now been made. A separately printed and circulated report is now submitted for your approval, recommending that the Court of Common Council adopts the new City of London Corporation Procurement Code 2015.

City of London Corporation Procurement Code 2015

The City of London Corporation’s procurement regulations had been noted as requiring updating, to reflect EU Procurement Directives and to bring them into line with new legislation introduced by the Government in 2015 (specifically the UK Public Contract Regulations 2015 and the Small Business and Employment Act 2015). These changes had consequently been incorporated into a revised City of London Corporation Procurement Code 2015, along with a number of recommended operational changes to drive further procurement efficient and savings.

The Finance Committee considered and approved the proposed Procurement Code in September 2015, subject to a small number of amendments. A separately printed and circulated report was therefore submitted for approval, recommending that the Court of Common Council adopts the new City of London Corporation Procurement Code 2015.

Resolved – That the City of London Corporation Procurement Code 2015 be adopted.
