This rare cylindrical cone, of terra cotta, contains a cuneiform (wedge writing) inscription by the great King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia, where it was originally buried. It proclaims Nebuchadnezzar's restoration of the ancient temple of the sun god, Shamash, in the Biblical city of Larsa. It reads in part: "Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, the restorer of the temples: Esogil and Ezida, the first-born son of Nabopolossar, King of Babylon, am I" This cone was procured from the collection of Dr. Edgar J. Banks, Field Director of Babylonian excavations for the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago.

A new procurement strategy is being introduced to change the way government buys goods and services and make it easier for businesses to access opportunities.
Government’s modernized approach to procurement will remove barriers for small, medium and Indigenous businesses; promote innovation; increase the focus on social, environmental and economic outcomes for people and communities; and enhance procurement capacity within ministries. The strategy also improves transparency in the Province’s purchasing processes.

Investigation Report New Deal for Communities: BCA
Braunstone was selected to as a pathfinder NDC project BCA, and the NDC ideal, was sold to the people of the area when they were granted £49m. Aspirations were raised in the early months as the plans for projects were drawn up following consolation with the residents. The anticipation has been slowly eroded away as BCA failed to deliver sustainable, visible and tangible improvements to the area. At the same time it became common knowledge that the BCA management budget had become overspent and internal matters became very public. This lead to a small minority of malcontents to question and criticise the BCA. The criticism and attacks became very vocal and personnel and allegations of financial impropriety against officers were rife.
The investigation has found no direct evidence of any illegal activities. However what we did find was a series of failures within the core business systems the seriousness of which means that we can not, with any certainty, rule out the possibility that fraudulent or criminal actions may have taken place.
We found significant problems with the following areas or core systems:
Conduct of the Board as a controlling factor over BCA
Recruitment and interview processes
Project application and appraisal
Programme and project management
VFM over procurement
Asset tracking
Accounts payable
We have long term concerns over the potential liabilities being accrued by BCA, which may transfer to the Government Office, or DTLR following their demise unless robust project appraisal process carried out by GOEM addresses these problems at the outset.
When considering this catalogue of problems we could be justified in recommending that the whole scheme be curtailed now before any further tax payer's money is committed.
However, we are acutely aware that this is a pathfinder NDC project and that problems come with the territory.
