Special Exemption from Standing Orders relating to Contracts (Paragraph 3)

This report advises Members of special exemptions from Standing Orders Relating to Contracts, which have been agreed by the Chief Fire Officer and the Treasurer, after consultation with the Chair of the Fire Authority.

Exemptions are requested in the form of a memorandum from the responsible officer to the Chief Fire Officer and Treasurer. These are then discussed at regular Chair's briefing sessions where the agreement, or otherwise, is noted and a copy of the memo placed on the Authorities contracts register. This paper includes information directly from the memoranda to enable members to consider the information on which the decision was taken.
