Issue details

The Council has a responsibility to manage public money with probity, to ensure that value for money is achieved and to manage it in such a way that we can support wider Council objectives. The Council’s Procurement Strategy 2017-2020 places an increased focus on the delivery social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being through its contracts, with focus on delivering Welsh Government policy initiatives including Community Benefits, Ethical Employment in Supply Chains and the Opening Doors Charter.

This Socially Responsible Procurement Policy aims to provide an over-arching framework for the delivery of these initiatives. The aim of this policy is to ensure that the Council maximises the social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing that it delivers through its procurement activity.
