The Truth About Exeter CVS
Read for your self about the Lack of Help from Exeter CVS:-
Exeter CVS is not able to offer any help to Neil with this application or any other activity. We do not recognise A1 Positive Recycling Project as an organisation which is eligible to receive our support. Exeter CVS is not funded to provide support to small businesses. I believe A1PRP is a dormant company and, if it operated at all, should seek business support from an agency like Business Link for any developments it would like to make.
Kind regards,
John

What is procurement?
Procurement can be defined as the fulfilment of a business need by the obtaining of ‘goods’, ‘services’ or ‘works’ from a resource external to ones’ own organisation. Procurement activity does not cease when the goods or services are delivered.
From the point when a need for goods or services is identified procurement activity of one form or another continues through the complete life cycle of the procurement subject matter, including performance monitoring and contract management, through to disposal where ‘goods’ are concerned and re-tendering or exit strategy for services.
Why does A1 Positive procure?
In order to carry out its day to day business, A1 Positive Recycling procures ‘goods’, ‘services’ and ‘works’ from many different internal & external sources rather than developing bespoke internal solutions. This allows the organisation to concentrate its efforts on core and core support functions whilst making use of “external experts” who can provide best value non-core goods and services more economically and expertly than we could ourselves.
Who is responsible for procurement within A1 Positive recycling?
Procurement activity within A1 Positive Recycling is devolved to:
* Directorates – for the acquisition of goods, services and works relating to core Directorate business activity. For example, the Environment Directorate undertakes procurement for highway maintenance, bridge construction and waste management; Resources Directorate for property maintenance and construction and Education for training related requirements.
* A1 Positive Purchasing – is responsible for the acquisition of all other non-core procurement goods and services (generally those items that are required in support of core activity and usually by more than one Directorate). These items typically fall into the category of general business needs such as furniture, flooring, utilities, fuel and office equipment.
There is also a corporate structure responsible for procurement policy, strategy and corporate decision-making.
* Procurement Policy Group (PPG) – Chaired by the Deputy Director of Resources the group is comprised of the Cabinet Member with Procurement Portfolio, the Strategic Procurement Officer, a senior management member of each Directorate and a representative from A1 Positive Purchasing. The procurement policy group considers corporate procurement issues and makes decisions relating to procurement planning and delivery of the strategy.
* Strategic Procurement Officer (SPO) – responsible for strategic procurement planning and direction; communicating procurement guidance, best practice and relevant legislation throughout the County; proposing procurement recommendations to the Procurement Policy Group; assisting Directorates to achieve corporate procurement objectives and managing the Strategic Procurement Action Network.
* Strategic Procurement Action Network (SPAN) – In order to cascade ‘best practice procurement’ throughout the entire Project a network has been formed of key procurement staff within each Directorate who are responsible for disseminating procurement guidelines, initiatives and legislative updates (provided to them by the Strategic Procurement Officer) to all those in their Unit concerned with procurement activity. The Network also feeds back data, statistics and initiatives to the centre.
