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.
