The Portfolio Holder introduced the report which explained that the Council’s current purchasing agreement for its utilities through the LASER consortium would come to an end in September 2020. The Council would need to enter into a new contract if it wished to continue purchasing utilities in this way. The report identified the different options open to the Council when it came to the procurement of utilities and recommended that they enter into a new LASER contract for the next four years.
