I can answer those questions.

1. The choice of supplier for a contract this size is an officer responsibility. Members would have no part to play. The relevant part of the Council's constitution says:-

5.1 This procedure applies to contracts where the estimated value of works, goods and services to be supplied is less than £10 000;

5.2 The relevant Chief Officer must be satisfied that the procedure adopted secures the best value for money for the Council and where practicable at least two quotations should be obtained. E-mailed quotations are acceptable but a copy of each quotation received must be retained on file.

I'm sure the relevant quotations will be available on file to any member who wishes to ask.

2. If there are any sandwiches left over after the meetings, a general call goes out across Scaitcliffe House and the sandwiches aren't left uneaten for long.
