Decisions

The portfolio holder agreed that Lyreco be granted a new contract for two years with an option to extend for one year to supply stationery to Wyre Council and gave approval to proceed under the exemption to Contract Procedures contained within the Financial Regulations and Financial Procedure Rules on the grounds that exceptions may apply where “a framework agreement is available that necessitates the Council not having to go out to tender and the goods, works or services will still provide the Council with best value for money.”
