240927 ARC Paper 9 Procurement Strategy

This document contains a draft procurement strategy for the Cairngorms National Park Authority. The strategy was created following an internal audit's recommendation and uses examples from Dundee City Council and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. The aim is to create improved processes and controls for awarding contracts fairly and transparently. The Audit and Risk Committee needs to review the strategy and advise on its use for developing future procedures.
