Issue - meetings

This report has two appendices which contain information exempt within the meaning of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 and are not for publication. The appendices have 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 Larry Culhane stated that the current contract could not be extended so there was a need for a re-procurement. School Meals service was used by children and young people in H&F, which ensured that school aged children in the Borough were offered at least one nutritionally hot meal each day in schools. There was no requirement for a school to enter into this new arrangement, but they would need to make their own arrangements that would work better for then. 

AGREED UNANIMOUSLY BY CABINET:

1.    Appendix A and Appendix B are not for publication on the basis that they contain information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information) as set out in paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).

2.    To approve the procurement strategy at Appendix A of this report to run a mini competition under ESPO Catering Services framework 704_18 Lot 1 (Education). The estimated contract value is as detailed in Appendix A.
