Brian Stockwell36:21Thank you. That's unanimous. Ah, well, I'm glad. We then move on to 8.4 which is. Procurement contracts assessment working team, contracts awards under CEO delegation. And we'll have Acting Director Margaret Gatt.
Frank Wilkie43:25Thank you for the report this publicly discloses all the large-sized contracts between two hundred thousand and one million awarded under the CEO delegation after independent review by the procurement contracts assessment working team this supports the principles of open government and ensures Councillors and the public are informed even when the decisions are delegated demonstrates strong governance and probity. The PCAWT provides an independent oversight mechanism for procurement activities ensuring processes follow policy, legislation and fair evaluation standards. This protects Council from probity risks and ensures defensible decisions. It ensures efficient contract awarding by allowing certain contracts to be awarded outside standard Council meeting cycles. Process reduces delays that could impact delivery of services and infrastructure to the community. In a tightening contractor market, speed of awarding is a competitive advantage. It also fulfils biannual reporting obligations. The report is required under council's updated procurement policy, which we all approved on June 30, 2025, to ensure visibility of procurement decisions made under. Delegated authority, with awarded tenders displayed in the council's foyer and on the website under procurement after awarding. The report covers four large-sized contracts awarded under CEO delegation between the 1st of July 2025 and the 31st of December 2025, all of which were independently reviewed through the procurement working team, and I've satisfied myself they are on display. Down in the foyer, and they are on the website, if you want to check. Thank you.
Amelia Lorentson45:14A question Through the Chair, and it may have been raised at a recent workshop, but I don't know whether it was answered, but has the procurement contract assessment working team ever recommended that a contract not be awarded under delegation? I'd have to take that on notice.
