Contracting for Goods and services

The request was refused by Manchester City Council.

Dear Manchester City Council,

Please supply me with the following statistics for your Council for Goods and Services procurement where 'goods' are tangible products such as pens or computers, generally known as supplies; 'works' are "the construction or demolition of buildings, both residential and non-residential, repair to the fabric of these buildings, construction of roads, bridges, tunnels, and the installation of gas, electric, and plumbing services" and 'services' are the provision of an intangible product such as care or refuse collection, whether it is carried out internally or externally. The following payments should be EXCLUDED: foster carer payments; payments to pension funds; payments to other local authorities for placement of clients or other non-commercial activities; payments to individuals for expenses, insurance settlements, council tax refunds, etc; Benefits payments and transfer payments.

The figures should cover (unless stated) the period 1st April 2015 to the 31st March 2016.
1. Council’s net revenue budget.
2. Total value of Goods and Services acquired by the council from third party suppliers.
3. The total value of contracts held by the council as at the 31st March 2016.

(Only details of savings from procurements conducted by the Council itself should be included unless the procurement was for a Framework agreement for the Council itself or for use by other Public Sector Bodies in which case the saving achieved can be included.)
9. The number of suppliers the spend with which adds up to 80% of the total spend with Third Parties.

The total number of contracts held by the council as at the 31st March 2016 with formalised and active contract management (Formalised contract management is viewed as regular, recorded and communicated processes for reviewing progress, issues, performance, outputs and outcomes including remedial action linked to contract terms by a responsible individual or individuals or teams that is active).
