Minutes:
The Cabinet Member considered a report that sought approval for the proposed new provisions of the Management Agreement for the Founder Members of Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation.
Option 1 was to accept the new Agreement which had been negotiated over many months and which had been approved by the Management Committee, the Strategic Officers Advisory Group and lawyers for all thirteen Founder Member authorities.
Option 2 was not to approve the new Agreement – and the consequences of this would be that the new Agreement would not come into being, as under the current agreement all Founder Members need to approve changes to the Management Agreement.
