Decision details

The Shareholder Cabinet Committee:

1.     Noted the contents of the report and requested that future reports include detail on NPS's strategic plan, targets for growth and where this could be achieved, and suggestion as to how the service could be improved.

2.     Requested that the Acting Corporate Director of Resources write to the Corporate Management Team to obtain a collective view on the performance of NPS and makes any appropriate recommendations to the Committee as necessary.

3.     Recommended that representatives from NPS, Aragon Direct Services and Peterborough City Council's legal, finance and schools teams met to discuss their collective roles and responsibilities. The outcome of this meeting would be communicated to Shareholder Cabinet Committee members prior to March 2020. 

4.     Recommended, once a timeline was available for communication to communities in relation to the end of the community asset transfer programme, that NPS work with Peterborough City Council to formulate a plan for the future.

Service delivery of major partnership contracts should be reviewed annually and outcomes of these reviews should be used to improve service provision.

This report set out performance of an operational contract. Alternative options would be considered if service delivery was not being delivered, shown via budget spend and Performance Indicator delivery.

None.
