The Commission and Procurement Programme. also identified that to scale up a programme of this nature would require specialist expertise which would not ordinarily be found within an organisation such as a council as there would be little need for these skill in the longer-term service delivery. In addition, the successful candidate has over the years removed those roles which would be able to support such as cost analysts and commercial quality assurance leads. Whilst it is evident that some teams and services could undertake/support the 3rd Party Spend activity it was highly likely that resources would not be able to be made available. Furthermore, as these investigations are likely to involve senior members of staff including directors and may require direct challenge and scrutiny of them, it would be unfair to place a permanent employee, who is likely to be a lower grade than those being interrogated, in such a position. The CPP Programme Manager was tasked with defining a programme of works and to develop a resource and cost profile in support of these works. It was also noted that this project is time constrained . Investigations, analysis, and the production of a detailed list of opportunities and the activity to secure them within this financial year needs to be completed no later than early/mid December 2025.

There are several considerations which also need to be factored into the process for determining the opportunities to be progressed: Contract content regarding roll-off times, exit strategies etc Internal governance and decision-making Financial reporting periods Cabinet reporting if required 1.
