To consider a report on the Council’s use of consultants.

The Committee received the report on the Council’s use of consultants, presented by Stuart Young, Assistant Chief Executive, and noted that consultants were funded from a variety of funding streams and that the Council currently employed 16 consultants and aimed to half this figure by January 2011.

The Committee requested a briefing note detailing the benefits, long term knowledge transfer and other data relevant to the Council’s use of consultants (Action no. 123.1). 

RESOLVED to note the progress that had been made in reducing the number of consultants across the Council and the policy arrangement in place for engaging and monitoring consultants.
