Minutes:

Consideration was given to the report following the request by the Strategic Director for Regeneration and Environment for a service health check for Asset Management/Corporate Property on joining the Council in the Spring of 2016. This was to provide headline reassurance that the service was operating in the delivery of its Asset Management/Corporate property function in a satisfactory manner and to identify whether there may be any key risks or particular areas for improvement. The health check would enable the authority to prioritise any improvement or particular focus that was required for the service as part of the Corporate Improvement Plan.

 

The health check was tendered via the Council’s procurement service and the contract was awarded to CIPFA Property Services Ltd.  CIPFA have completed the health check, which included a number of recommendations that have been incorporated into an action plan, attached as an appendix to the report with the key aspects for Cabinet and Commissioners being actions and recommendations in the Strategic Section.

 

Commissioner Kenny agreed:-  (1)  That the health check provided by CIPFA along with the action plan provided in Appendix 1 be approved.

 

(2)  That the recommendations and action plan be implemented and implementation be overseen by the establishment of a Corporate Property and Asset Management Board.

 

(3)  That Cabinet receives quarterly update reports on the progress of the implementation of the action plan.
