Notice of proposed decision first published: 23/11/2018

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
With the approval of the Chairman of the Children and Education Scrutiny Committee Urgency procedures have been invoked to suspend the requirement to advertise the decision for the full 28 days.

This is in order to protect service delivery during the handover period of the contract. This service is critical in ensuring that the vulnerable service users are appropriately evaluated and signposted to the right services for assessment, and it is important to ensure that there is a smooth transfer from PCC to CCC. This also involves a third partner (Serco) and the timing has been influenced by the need to finalise arrangements with them as well.
