Tayside Procurement Strategy 2011-2015
Tayside Procurement Consortium are pleased to publish its Procurement Strategy for 2011-2015. Each partner has approved the Strategy after a thorough consultation process including departments and unions.
This Procurement strategy for the three Tayside Councils has been prepared in the context of the developing national procurement agenda and the current financial climate. The increasing pressure on public spending makes it even more important that everyone involved in Procurement understands the need to continue to make the best possible use of Council resources.
The three Tayside Councils – Dundee City, Angus and Perth and Kinross, including their devolved services organisation Tayside Contracts are clear that Procurement has a critical role to play in achieving potential efficiency savings and ensuring that the organisations are fully prepared to embrace the ongoing challenges of the public service reform agenda.
The strategy sets out the procurement aims and objectives of the Shared Procurement Service for the Tayside Councils and Tayside Contracts for 2011-2015.
The aims and objectives in our Strategy reflect both national and local policies and priorities.
To achieve the required financial savings and the other procurement objectives of the Councils, the Shared Procurement Service team will continue to work with services within partner Councils to fulfil our statutory duty of Best Value as determined by the Local Government in Scotland Act (2003) Act.
