(ii) Approved procurement recommendations -

The total cost for this project was estimated to be £70,000, with the building works likely to cost approximately £44,000.

·        The permission of the Executive Councillor and Director of Resources would be sought prior to proceeding if the quotation or tender sum exceeded the estimated contract value by more than 15%.
