Decision:

1.    To note that Appendices 2 & 3 are not for publication on the basis that they contain information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that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 contract awards set out in paragraph 38 of the report.

4.    To note that in summary however, the annual premium of the bid is reduced by £164K with an anticipated increase in the self-funding provision of circa £75K and therefore net additional saving on bid of £90K noting that given variances in claims experience year on year this needs to be considered over the contract period.
