Report of the Chamberlain.

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

Officers advised that a key challenge was the historical savings target and the impact on work pressures.  No changes were planned in the short term pending the arrival of the Chief Operating Officer and vacancies were not being filled to mitigate budget pressures.  However, this led to a knock on effect for providing support to new projects coming on stream. 

Officers agreed to review budget and resource risks and reassess targets to see whether alterations were necessary and present an update report on this to the next meeting of the Sub Committee.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
