ARGYLL and Bute Council has launched its new procurement strategy which will guide the way it buys goods and services over the next year, supporting change and innovation as the council continues with its ambitious transformation agenda.
Councillor Dick Walsh, Policy Lead for Customer Services, said: ‘The new strategy puts people in Argyll and Bute first. They are at the heart of what we do. This is a time of unprecedented challenge for local government finances.
‘As we move forward, effective procurement will become even more important, making sure we can get the very best value for the goods and services we buy in so that we can continue to support the services our communities have told us matter most to them.
