Council 'not consistently securing value for money'

A REPORT from Audit Wales has said Bridgend council does not have arrangements in place to consistently secure value for money when it comes to commissioning services.

- 

The report was heard by council bosses at a governance and audit scrutiny committee in July 2025, following the audit which was published by the organisation in June.

Commissioning is the process by which a local council designs and sets up the services it wants to deliver either internally or by procuring an external supplier.

Audit Wales said after looking at a small sample of services they felt Bridgend council did not have arrangements in place to "assure itself that it consistently secures value for money when it commissions services".
