Professional Services Procurement Spend

The request was successful.

Dear Wrexham County Borough Council,

I am writing to ask that you please provide me with the spend for your Professional Services procurement at the Authority, by which I mean the procurement of projects and consultancy through Statement of Work excluding temporary agency staff.

• What have you spent on Professional Services over the last 12 months?
• What did the authority spend on professional Services Between April 2019 and March 2020?
• Between April 2019 and March 2020, which categories had the highest level of spend throughout that period?
• Has the authority planned any large construction-based projects over the next two years?
• If you have got construction projects planned, please could you provide project details, budget and timeframes?
• What is the Councils current process to engage with professional service providers? Please could you provide details of the process and name third parties if they are being used.

Yours faithfully,

Baljit Sandhu

foi, Wrexham County Borough Council

Diolch am eich e-bost.

 

Noder, oherwydd yr aflonyddwch rydym yn profi ynghylch Covid-19
(Coronafirws), mae Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Wrecsam yn darparu
gwasanaethau critigol yn unig ar hyn o bryd.

 

Maent yn cynnwys gwasanaethau cymdeithasol, cyngor ar fudd-daliadau tai,
llety cysgodol, ysgolion (ar agor ar hyn o bryd i blant gweithwyr
allweddol a phlant bregus yn unig), casglu biniau a phethau eraill y mae
pobl yn dibynnu arnynt. Cadwch y gyfoes gyda'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf ar y
wefan [1]www.wrecsam.gov.uk.

 

Nid yw'r gwasanaeth hwn yn cael ei ystyried fel wasanaeth hanfodol ac,
felly, er y bydd y blwch e-bost yn cael ei wirio'n rheolaidd, mae'n
annhebygol y bydd eich cais yn cael ei drin o fewn amserlenni arferol.
Fodd bynnag, byddwn yn ymdrin ag ef pan fydd busnes arferol yn
ailddechrau.

 

Diolch am eich cydweithrediad

Thank you for your email.

 

Please be advised that, due to the disruption because of Covid-19 (Novel

accommodation, schools (currently open to children of key workers and
vulnerable children only), emptying bins and other things that people

Dear Mr Singh

 

Request for information

Freedom of Information Act 2000

 

Thank you for your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
(FOIA) dated 30th October 2020 which was received by Wrexham County
Borough Council on 2nd November 2020.

 

Under the FOIA, we have 20 working days to comply with your request and,
under normal circumstances you could expect a response by 27th November
2020. However, The Council is currently facing unprecedented challenges
due to the disruption because of Covid-19 (Novel Coronavirus) and is
currently providing critical services only. Resources are being diverted

there may be some delay in providing a response.

 

The Council has a right to make a charge on all requests, to cover the
cost of disbursements, including photocopying and postage, and a list of
our charges are available on our website:
