Cabinet received a report which followed the development of a procurement strategy by the Procurement Working Group as part of the council’s Contract Rules and discussion by the Corporate Management Team (CMT).

1. To approve the procurement strategy; and
2. To note the progress to date on investigating options for an ethical investment and procurement policy.
