Decision details

The Chief Officer for Resources and Strategy has approved a waiver of the Contract Procedure Rules to permit the Visitor Economy and Inward Investment service to proceed with the purchase of the exhibition space at The Meetings Show 2018 from Centaur Media, PO number Z028444 for the value of £12,150 (plus VAT) as this is a sole supplier situation. They are therefore unable to obtain three written quotes and the value of an order is between £10,000 and £25,000.

This will allow the Visitor Economy and Inward Investment Service to successfully deliver the Executive Board approved strategic approach and forward plan in which the nature of the business and unique circumstances of the service being delivered results in the required procurement.
