Carrick District Council - Improving Procurement Transparency
Overview The publication of the Byatt Report, the National Procurement Strategy and the council's drive to maximise its efficiencies and effectiveness, prompted a formal review of procurement in spring 2004. The findings of the review suggested that the council needed to improve its 'transparency and openness' when working with suppliers. Factors such as: 'improving communications' and 'providing better information on future purchasing requirements of the council' were top of the list of improvements that suppliers wanted to see initiated. It was also clear that more could be done to increase efficiency, through working with neighbouring district councils and the county council. Key information was extracted from contract procedure rules, to produce a guide for suppliers and contractors. The guide explains - in a straightforward way - the council's procedures and processes in awarding contracts or supply agreements.
