____________
PAGE 2, PART 2 –
For the words "internal" substitute the words "States of Jersey".
DEPUTY K.F. MOREL OF ST. LAWRENCE
Note: After this amendment, the proposition would read as follows –
THE STATES are asked to decide whether they are of opinion
- that the States of Jersey will continue to support the Island's social and economic recovery from the Covid-19 crisis by seeking to maximise the amount of goods and services that the States of Jersey procures from on-Island suppliers where it is legal and practical to do so;
- to request the Minister for Treasury and Resources to ensure that States of Jersey procurement processes and guidelines include positive weighting, within a balanced assessment, of the contribution of the economic, social and environmental benefits to Jersey, in particular on-Island employment. This reflects the need at this particular time to stimulate and recover Jersey's economy, (subject to exemptions for specialist services that can only be purchased from off-Island suppliers, legal restrictions and meeting minimum acceptable quality and other thresholds);
- to request the Minister for Treasury and Resources to present a report by the 31st August 2020 setting out the amended procurement policies and evaluation criteria, with further and future amendments published on the gov.je website in accordance with our Public Finances Manual processes;
- to request the Minister for Treasury and Resources to present an annual procurement report to the States Assembly detailing expenditure by the States of Jersey of the top 100 Suppliers by value across goods and services, identifying those with an on-island presence, from off-Island suppliers, with the first such report to be published no later than 31st March 2021, in order to provide a full 12 calendar month view;
- to request the Minister for Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture to commit to develop supply-use tables for Jersey as part of the evidence base building phase of the Future Economy Programme.
