Resolved:

(a)       That the capital strategy attached at Appendix 1 to the submitted report

            be approved.

(b)       That the procurement strategy attached at Appendix 2 to the submitted

            report be approved.

The Combined Authority considered a report of the Director, Corporate Services on corporate matters which sought endorsement of the revised capital strategy and consideration of the updated procurement strategy.

Members considered the draft capital strategy which was attached at Appendix 1 to the submitted report.  It was noted that the Governance and Audit Committee had considered the draft capital strategy at their meeting on 12 May 2020 and had recommended it to the Combined Authority for approval, noting that the strategy would require early review to ensure it remained fit for purpose for the COVID-19 response.

In respect of the procurement strategy, it was reported that there had been a number of changes within procurement and the wider organisation and these were now reflected in the revised procurement strategy which was attached at Appendix 2.  The Authority considered and approved the strategy, which sets out the direction of travel for procurement within the Combined Authority and explains the drivers, approach and intended outcomes for procurement activity. 

Resolved:

(a)       That the capital strategy attached at Appendix 1 to the submitted report

            be approved.

(b)       That the procurement strategy attached at Appendix 2 to the submitted

            report be approved.
