The contract for providing lunches at Scaitcliffe House is, under the Council's constitution, deemed to be a small contract, and as such will effectively fly under the radar in terms of requiring competitive tenders to be sought. To retain the Council's "Excellent" status, the external auditors will only look for evidence of similar providers giving similar value for money.

I assume that no other providers can do the job, because no "Excellent" council would go anywhere near allowing a serving member of the controlling group to profit personally from providing the refreshments for unbiased meetings, would they?
