Issue - decisions

      i.        the recommendations contained in the Strategic Procurement Plan be agreed:

a.    That Bracknell Forest Council enter into a partnership agreement (the Partnership) with 15 LA’s where Southampton City Council will be the lead procuring authority for the procurement of a new framework for IFA provision (4 year term commencing on April 2022).

b.    It is anticipated that the total expenditure by the Council through the

South Central framework will be between £800,000 and £1,000,000 per

annum, giving a maximum total for the four years of £4,000,000. Approval of this Strategic Procurement Plan therefore authorises all future call offs from this Framework that does not exceed £4,000,000 over the term of the framework.
