Minutes:

The Deputy Leader of the Council considered a retender of emergency contracts that had been issued until June 2013 to guarantee on-going short-term coverage of services formerly operated by RH Transport before they entered administration in October 2012.

 

Having regard to the arguments and options set out in the documentation before him the Deputy Leader of the Council then confirmed his decisions on this matter as follows:

 

(a)               to agree subsidies for services described in the report CMDDL14E on the basis of the tender prices (and the periods of time) as set out in the Supplementray Exempt Annex to the report and in the schedule of decisions;

 

(b)               confirm that those decisions were urgent in that any delay likely to be caused by the call in process would result in service discontinuity and in accordance with the requirements of Scrutiny Procedure Rule 17(b) those decisions should not be subject to the call in process;
