What is being bought
The Council wish to undertake a pilot project to test the merits of engaging a 3rd party to undertake low value procurements with a view to undertaking a compliant procurement process should the pilot be successful in delivering cashable and process savings. Given that this is a pilot it is not considered that a full procurement process would add value either to the authority or the supply market at this point.
