This report has one appendix which contain information exempt within the meaning of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 and is not for publication. The appendix has therefore been circulated to Cabinet Members only.

Any discussions on the contents of an exempt appendix will require Cabinet to pass the proposed resolution identified at the end of the agenda to exclude members of the public and the press from the proceedings for that discussion.

Councillor Connell introduced the report and stated that it was seeking approval to award a contract relating to a managed service provision for temporary agency resources, with effect from 1 July 2020 for a term of one year with the option to extend for a further year. Following an assessment of the Council’s future requirements and the impact of Covid-19, this contract would deliver potential savings to the Council and provide continuity of services.

The Leader put the recommendations to the vote and a roll-call was undertaken.
