Report by Policy & Performance Service Manager (CMDLC4).

Following an LGA Peer Challenge review of the Council's work with the voluntary and community sector, the Council is now co-producing a new support arrangement with the sector as the review suggested that the current arrangements did not work for the sector. The current contract is due to end in March 2019 and to allow a co-produced solution to be developed, this report seeks an exemption from contract procurement rules to extend  the contract for an additional year to complete the co-production work.

The Cabinet Member Local Communities is RECOMMENDED to approve this exemption from the Council’s Contract Procedure Rules.

Recommendation agreed.
