Agenda item

Report of the Chamberlain

The Sub Committee considered a report of the Chamberlain outlining performance across the Key Performance Indicators.  A representative from the Barbican Centre attended for this item and gave assurances that measures were in place to reduce instances on non-compliance including earlier engagement with the Procurement Team and revisions to the Artist exemption Policy.

Officers also advised that processes were being streamlined and going forward, only waivers above the £50,000 threshold would require the Sub Committee’s approval.  Although performance had dipped slightly, notwithstanding the staff vacancies payments to SMEs would continue to be prioritised.

RESOLVED – That the progress of key strategic improvement projects and performance for Q1 – Q3 of 2019/20 financial year be noted.
