Contract procedure rules
The contract procedure rules are intended to promote good purchasing practice. They also intend to promote public accountability and deter corruption. They are designed to safeguard the interests of -
- the council
- council members
- council employees
Following the rules is the best defence against allegations that a purchase has been made incorrectly or fraudulently.
These procedures apply to all activities of the authority. They also apply where the council is a lead authority in any -
- joint procurement
- shared service
- partnership
- collaborative arrangement
All officers, including temporary or agency workers, and members must follow these contract procedure rules for all relevant contracts. See Rule 5, Relevant Contracts. They lay down minimum requirements. A more thorough procedure may be appropriate for a particular contact.
