The Council Corporate Procurement Strategy 2016 – 2018, is due for renewal in May 2018. 

The new Procurement Strategy must align to the Council Strategic Plan for 2017- 2022, Link, which sets out the priority themes and commitments that will be delivered over the next 5 years by the Council Family Group (our Services and ALEOS). It must also comply with the statutory requirements of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 (known as the Act).

The Act imposes a number of requirements relating to the development of a Procurement Strategy and in particular to content, publication and reporting. This includes a requirement to undertake a consultation exercise with those stakeholders who are affected by its procurements. 

This survey represents the second phase of the two stage consultation process with our key stakeholders. The feedback from the first phase has been reviewed and incorporated within the draft Corporate Procurement and Improvement Strategy, attached.

The timeline for the formal consultation will run for 12 weeks from Friday 9^th February 2018 to Friday 4^th May 2018.  A further 4 week period will then follow to invite representation from the public on the amended Scheme (2018). 

Glasgow City Council has recently produced a draft City Charter for consultation.

The City Charter is an informal agreement between the council and its citizens that lists our shared commitments, aims and standards.  It sets out:

• Values and the ways of working people should expect from the council;
• Vision for the city; and
• What we can do together to meet this vision.

To inform the ongoing development of the City Charter we would welcome your views, comments and suggestions on the attached document.
