Agenda item

RESOLVED that

1.    Socially Responsible Procurement Policy be approved.

2.    the Socially Responsible Procurement Policy also acts as the Council’s Ethical Employment Policy for the Council’s supply chains.

Cabinet considered a report outlining a proposal for a Socially Responsible Procurement Policy.  The policy aims to provide an over-arching framework for the delivery of three Welsh Government Initiatives; Community Benefits, Code of Practice Ethical Employment in Supply Chains and the Chart for SME Friendly procurement and also delivers one of the Council’s own commitments as set out in the Capital Ambition. 

The policy seeks to ensure that local people and local communities benefit when the Council spends money on goods and services and demonstrate the Council’s commitment to ethical employment and ensuring that it maximises the economic, social, environmental and cultural well-beingthat it delivers through its procurement.
