Agenda and minutes

Resolved:-  That, under Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the following items of business on the grounds that they involve the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraph 3 of Part I of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972.

Chrissy Wright, Director for Commissioning and Partnerships presented the submitted report which explained the way the Supporting People team ensured the Council received value for money from the providers of services under the Supporting People programme.

The report detailed proposals for a revised procurement programme to address the procurement of Supporting People services between 2009-12 in accordance with the Council’s Standing Orders and Financial Regulations.

Resolved:- That the proposed revised procurement programme be approved:

Granting exemption from Financial Standing Orders, and so waiving a procurement exercise for contracts listed in Appendix 1.

Extending the contracts in Appendix 1 for the periods outlined to allow the resources available through the SP Programme to contribute to the NAS personalisation programme.
