Report of the Service Director Performance and Innovation.

The Service Director Performance and Innovation submitted a report seeking agreement for an exemption to the Council’s contract procedures in order to place a new contract with Lyreco for the supply of stationery to Wyre Council.

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.”
