Minutes:
Consideration was given to a report which presented strategies for the workforce, procurement and commissioning. It was reported that these strategies were central to support the delivery of the Council Plan.
The Workforce Strategy 2012-2015 replaced the council’s first Workforce Plan 2010-12 which had focussed on the future size and shape of the authority’s staffing resource. It was confirmed that the council’s approach to procurement had developed significantly however the strategy had not been refreshed for a number of years. Details of the background work and consultation undertaken in relation to both of these documents was set out in the report.
It was confirmed that a full strategy delivery plan was being developed which would be electronically available in April.
The Cabinet Member referred to the work undertaken in relation to each of the strategies, in particular procurement which was crucial to the achievement of savings and to delivery of services.
