City Procurement Risk Management - Quarterly Update Report

Report of the Chamberlain

Minutes:

The Sub Committee considered a report of the Chamberlain giving an overview of the management of risks faced by City Procurement.

 

In response to comments and questions from Members, Officers stated that funding and staffing were of equal concern and that the impact of fundamental review savings and staffing levels was under constant review.

 

It was also reported that a Brexit Assurance exercise carried out for key suppliers had not identified any significant concerns/ impact.  Some contractors such as specialist engineering and highways and maintenance had flagged delays in receiving key components/materials but thus far, this had not caused disruption 

 

Although there was media interest in fresh food supplies, in the context of CoL supply chains, any impact was negligible and not due to Brexit.  Officers were keeping a watching brief. And undertook to provide an update for the next meeting.

 

RESOLVED –

 

1.         That the report and the actions taken by the City Procurement team to monitor and manage risks arising from its operations be noted.

2.         That an update of the impact of Brexit on supply chains be presented to the next meeting.
