Update to Lease Acquisition and Underlease Disposal at Red Clover Gardens

Decision maker:  Executive Mayor

Decision due:   Not before 31st Jan 2024

Originally due:   31 Jan 2024

Lead officer:  Huw Rhys-Lewis

Notice of proposed decision first published: 10/01/2024

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
Commercial sensitivity and a delay could prejudice the Council’s financial interests. Subject to commercial negotiation, exact decision route is still to be confirmed. Cabinet is default, but could possibly be the Mayor or made under existing delegated authority - depending on the details of the negotiation.

Note: General Exception was orginally published on the 10th January 2024 for Cabinet 31st January. The decision taker has been amended to Executive Mayor (was believed needed to go back to Cabinet), and decision now after the 31st January 2024.

Note: Report title has remained the same Update to Lease Acquisition and Underlease Disposal at Red Clover Gardens.

Education Estates Strategy

Decision maker:  Cabinet

Decision:   31 Jan 2024

Lead officer:  Shelley Davies

Decision status:  Recommendations Approved

Notice of proposed decision first published: 22/01/2024

Reason for urgency:
The report ensures that the Council is compliant with its school place planning duties (s13-14 Education Act 1996) to promote high standards of education and fair access to education; secure provision for children with special educational needs and disabilities; and respond to parental preference – any delay by making the decision at a subsequent Cabinet meeting would create risk in for-filling the Council’s duties.

Homes for the Future as Centres of Excellence (PFI Older People Residential Care Homes)

Decision maker:  Cabinet Member for Health and Adult Social Care

Decision:   Not before 7th Dec 2023

Lead officer:  Ami Patel

Decision status:  Recommendations Approved

Notice of proposed decision first published: 30/11/2023

Reason for urgency:
Negotiations with the incumbent provider for a longer term arrangement broke down at the end of June, following a failed tender exercise. A short term extension (6 months) was agreed whilst further work was undertaken to determine the next steps for a new commissioning and procurement exercise. Placing this information on a publicly published forward plan would have jeopardised our negotiation position with the incumbent provider.

The report outlines the request for an extension as part of the ongoing strategy. The supplier is currently continuing to deliver the service and payment is only authorised up until 07th December 2023. This strategy and extension request needs to be agreed by this date in order to pay a supplier for services delivered.

Decision:   Not before 20th Oct 2023

Lead officer:  Richard Eyre

Decision status:  Recommendations Approved

Notice of proposed decision first published: 12/10/2023

It will slow down the procurement of the delivery partner which could have financial implications for delivery of new savings in 2024/25.
