TERMS OF REFERENCE
Responsibilities
The Committee is established to assist the Chief Executive to undertake the management procedure of ensuring sound probity procedures are followed in relation to procurement of goods and services necessary to deliver on the work programme and operations outlined in Council’s adopted Annual plan.
It will ensure that reasonable purchasing procedures have been followed in awarding contracts and will provide an efficient mechanism for documenting the approvals for those contracts.
Within a framework where contracts are an operational matter delegated to the Chief Executive, this Committee will consider all tenders beyond the Chief Executive’s financial delegations. The Chief Executive may refer contracts within his financial delegations which are sensitive or may impact on the reputation of the Council.
The Chief Executive has power to award contracts up to $20 million alone and the power to award contracts up to $22.5 million jointly with the mayor and relevant committee chair.
The Committee will have responsibility for:
· Awarding of contracts greater than $22.5 million; and
· Awarding of contracts less than $20 million which are sensitive or may impact on the reputation of the Council where the Chief Executive refers the matter to the Committee;
· Oversight over the tendering and procurement process and procedures of the Governing Body and local board; and
· Developing a tendering and procurement strategy as policy for recommendation to the Governing Body for adoption.
From time to time the Committee may advise the Chief Executive and Council on changes to the Procurement and Contracts probity procedures.
Powers
All powers necessary to perform the Committee’s responsibilities.
Except:
(a) powers that the Governing Body cannot delegate or has retained to itself (section 2)

Procurement Pipeline Update Report
File No.: CP2015/18570
Purpose
1. To provide the Tenders and Procurement Committee an update on the upcoming procurement activity at Auckland Council (the “pipeline”).
Executive Summary
2. In order to leverage the council’s scale to increase efficiency and value for money, the Procurement Department has embarked on a journey to build a pipeline of forward works across the organisation. This will also keep the supply market well-informed of upcoming opportunities to enable them to better plan and respond to Council’s requirements.
3. This pipeline view provides the Tenders and Procurement Committee with an indication of the procurement projects that will require their consideration and approval.
4. Please note that this report covers the available forward work programmes. Some business groups are still in the process of drafting their 2016 Financial Year work programmes.
That the Tenders and Procurement Committee: a) receive the first procurement pipeline report and presentation. |

Supplier Relationship Management
File No.: CP2015/19016
Purpose
1. To present the Tenders and Procurement Committee with:
· an overview of what Supplier Relationship Management in Procurement does,
· an update on the PACE (Performance Assessment Coordinated Evaluation) trial also known as supplier scorecard, and
· the Visy supplier strategic direction and plan.
Executive Summary
2. As part of taking a strategic approach to procurement, Auckland Council created a team within Procurement in November 2014 called Supplier Relationship Management (SRM). The team’s primary function is to work with Auckland Council’s strategic and critical suppliers and associated business units to develop supplier plans to ensure contract value is kept and new value is captured throughout the contract life.
3. One of the initiatives being rolled out by the SRM team is PACE. NZTA and Auckland Transport are currently using PACE to manage the performance of their suppliers. Auckland Council is now looking at applying the same supplier scorecard methodology to increase dialogue between suppliers and business units whilst at the same time ensuring work is delivered within contracted key performance indicators.
4. SRM at Council focus on strategic and critical suppliers. Visy is one of Auckland Council’s strategic suppliers who are in the waste sector. Auckland Council awarded Visy a contract that runs until 2024. The supplier relationship management team has put a supplier plan for actions in the short (1 year), medium (1-2 years) and long term (2+ years).
That the Tenders and Procurement Committee: a) receive the three presentations on Supplier Relationship, Performance Assessment Coordinated Evaluation and Visy. |
