Introduction to Durham County Council Sample Clauses

Introduction to Durham County Council. Durham County Council, the contracting authority undertaking this procurement exercise, is a Unitary local authority, created in April 2009. It is the largest of the twelve local authorities in the North East. The council’s high-level priorities are set out in our Council Plan, which supports the County Durham Vision 2035, developed with partners and residents, the vision sets out the shared long-term ambitions for the county. It is structured around three externally focused results-based ambitions of ‘more and better jobs’, ‘long and independent lives’ and ‘connected communities’ The Council is now driving forward measures to unlock growth in our economy, and this will necessitate a rethinking of how to develop a more sustainable local economy in the future, and to maximise the value of the County Durham Pound by local spending. Social value is about considering the economic, social and environmental benefits for communities when making decisions about how contracts are awarded, and budgets are invested. When employing a contractor, for example, factors such as the businesses’ environmental ethos, apprenticeship programmes and community outreach work are taken into account, alongside considerations such as quality, price and timescales for delivery. In line with this vision and maximising the County Durham Pound, the Council has developed a Procurement Strategy to ensure that we carry out all commissioning and procurement activities collaboratively and in an economic, environmental and socially responsible manner on behalf of the council and its key stakeholders, making sustainable purchasing decisions that promote the long-term interests of the communities we represent.
