Issue - meetings

RESOLVED:  That officers be authorised to seek tenders, as described in the report.

Reason for Decision:  To ensure services to address Domestic and Sexual Violence could be provided as effectively and competitively as possible.  A single provider would enable better co-ordination of services and there was a prospect of reducing the management overheads as one management team would be able to cover the whole service.

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected:  As set out in the officer report.

Conflict of Interest relating to the matter declared by Cabinet Member / Dispensation Granted:  None.
