It was anticipated that this review and a new structure would be implemented in early 2020, however in seeking to ensure an effective response to the global pandemic all restructures (including that of Procurement) were placed on hold under instruction from Human Resources This pause prevented implementation of the Procurement target operating model and the appointment of the Professional Services category team. Consequently, this has prevented the timely re-procurement of the framework for this worker category prior to the expiry date of 3rd September 2021. The pandemic could not have been foreseen by the Council back in 2017."
