Report CSD16148
At its meeting on 7th September 2016, the Executive and Resources PDS Committee requested that a report (FSD16053) concerning expenditure on consultants 2015/16 and 2016/17 be considered by all PDS Committees.
Report FSD16053 was appended to Report CSD16148 as was Revenue expenditure on consultants in the Environment Portfolio. This focussed on (i) one-off specialist advice/no-one with specialist skills and (ii) insufficient in-house skills/resources. Expenditure in 2015/16 amounted to £183,294 and in 2016/17 to date expenditure amounted to £14,560.
As a further appendix to Report CSD16148, information on Capital expenditure on consultants in the Portfolio was outlined, broken down into expenditure on architects and multi-disciplinary/other consultants. Expenditure in 2015/16 amounted to £200,869.02 and expenditure for the first quarter of 2016/17 amounted to £2,979.34.
Noting that revenue and capital expenditure for 2016/17 only covered the first quarter, there was a desire to look at the matter again at the end of the financial year.
RESOLVED that the matter be considered again after the end of the current financial year.
