Update for Members

Although some members may take an active interest in the process, their responsibility is to know:

that officers have gone through the right processes and that the council’s interests are protected
that regulatory officers and stakeholders have been consulted on the OJEU notice and QBS procedures
the expected outcome and timescale for achieving it.

Framework officers should consult with members as follows:

Circulate the draft documents.
Meet with members and ensure they understand (at a macro level) the process and implications.
Receive their feedback.
Amend the documents.
