WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY R.G. LE HÉRISSIER OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 19th JUNE 2007
Question
Would the Minister advise members –
- whether the positionofProcurementand Contracts Managerhasbeenopened to external recruitment, and if so, why?
- of the annual staff budget for the CorporateProcurement section and outline how the effectiveness ofthe section ismeasured?
Answer
- The position ofProcurement and Contract Manager has beenopened to recruitment outside of Jersey. The position was advertised locally and only two applicationswerereceived. Neither of the applicants had the pre-requisite professional qualifications, or the experience requiredforthe job.
- The annual staff budget for the CorporateProcurement section is £311,614.TheCorporateManagement Board has agreedan additional £150,000 for staffing on a two year trial basis. The additionalfundshave been ring fenced as "pump priming" to provide additionalprocurement expertise to deliver savings in excess of the £2 million previously identified. The Corporate Procurement annual savings targets have been increased to cover the additional salary costs and it is expected that the new postswill achieve at least savings three times theircost.
T h e effectiveness of the section is measured by the performance indicators detailed below. These indicators
form part of the Treasury and Resources performance plan and are reported on quarterly. Due to the relatively new structure and remit of the section some of the indicators have yet to be reported on.
