The Cabinet Member for Finance, Performance and Core Services presented a report on the procurement of a Strategic Advisory Framework (SAF).

The Cabinet Member advised that the SAF sought to bring together the Council’s recent requirements for specific technical and investment advisors for its commercial investments as well the provision of services, currently delivered via Elevate, which could not be procured via that route post December 2020.

Cabinet resolved to:

(i)  Approve the procurement of a Strategic Advisory Framework in accordance with the strategy set out in the report; and

(ii)  Delegate authority to the Chief Operating Officer, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Finance, Performance and Core Services and the Director of Law and Governance, to enter into the framework agreements, call off contracts and all other necessary or ancillary agreements with the successful bidder(s) plus any access agreements with participating authorities.
