Decisions:

1.              That rule 2.1 of the Contract Procedure Rules be excluded and that the contract with Immediate Solutions be varied to allow the trial of additional pilot schemes identified in the circulated report;

2.              That delegated authority be given to the Head of Planning and Public Protection to determine what additional assets are to be included in the revised contract;

3.              That a procurement exercise in parallel be agreed, to obtain a long term partner with any future contract to commence after the current contract term has expired in the summer of 2017.

Reason for Decisions:

To ensure compliance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015; to generate optimum levels of revenue in the short and long term to assist the Council in carrying out its functions; and to continue to provide businesses operating locally the opportunity to promote their identities.

Implementation of Decisions:

The decisions will be implemented after the three day call in period.
