Pre-Scrutiny

Minutes:

The Committee scrutinised the following private matters

 

Cabinet Board Proposals

 

     i.        Grwp Gwalia Contract Payments

 

Members considered a report that sought approval to pay costs incurred to Grwp Gwalia.

 

Members questioned why the costs had been incurred and why hadn’t any investigative works been undertake before the contract was signed. Officers stated that works had been undertaken but when more in depth works had been undertaken it highlighted additional problems and therefore the Council was not really in a position to not pay the costs.

 

Following scrutiny the Committee was supportive of the proposal to be considered by the Cabinet Board.

 

    ii.        2016/17 Supporting People Programme Grant Contracts

 

Members considered the report that sought approval to enter into interim contractual arrangements with the current providers of the Supporting People Programme Grant.

 

Members asked whether this was something out of the ordinary. Officers confirmed that this was standard practice and would allow the service to undertake a re-procurement exercise during 2016/2017. Members requested that progress reports be brought to committee should there be any problems with negotiations.

 

Following scrutiny the Committee was supportive of the proposals to be considered by the Cabinet Board.
