Minutes:
Note – this item was considered at the same time as Agenda Item 5.3 (Substance Misuse Commissioning (2)) and the combined minute is presented here.
The Mayor agreed that the Appendix should be considered as an exempt document due to the financial information it contained. However, discussion of the issue would continue in public session unless any Member wished to specifically raise an exempt matter.
Councillor Shiria Khatun, Cabinet Member for Community Safety, introduced the reports. She highlighted the competitive tendering processes that had been undertaken and the resulting proposed contract awards. The second report proposed the decommissioning of certain services where other alternatives were available. She took Members through the services that would be available and the way the new model of provision was developing.
In considering the report the Mayor noted that where facilities were being closed there were other treatment options available. In respect of the tendering process he noted the excellent work existing suppliers had performed and that if there were changes of supplier TUPE processes would be available for staff. He agreed the recommendations in both reports.
