Issue - decisions

The Strategic Director of Economy in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Housing and Homelessness: 

1.    Approves that Appendix 1 of this report is currently exempt from disclosure on the grounds that it contains information relating to the financial or business affairs of a particular person (including the authority holding that information) under paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, and in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

3.    Approves the award of a contract to John Rowan and Partners (JRP) under the South East Consortium Consultancy Framework flexible direct award procedure for the provision of multi-disciplinary services to enable the delivery of projects outlined in Appendix 1. 

4.    Notes that the estimated fees detailed in Appendix 1 will be recalculated based on the total contract value and service proposal for each project and will be detailed in individual works contract award reports.
