With the approval of the Chairman of Growth, Environment and Resources Scrutiny Committee, the urgency procedure, special urgency procedure, and waiver of call-in procedure have been invoked to suspend the requirement to publish notice of the decision for 28 days, to suspend the requirement to publish the decision for five days, and to suspend the three day call-in period.
This decision needs to follow special urgency procedures as outlined in the Councils Constitution because of the limited timescales to undertake the transfer of Leisure and Cultural services to the Council. Significant work has taken place since that date and the Report is the result of discussions with Vivacity and Partners to set out where these services will be delivered from the 17th September. The urgency of this decision is to ensure there is clarity with Members and the public on what is happening and what these interim arrangements are. This is not on the forward plan.
The Cabinet Member approved:
1. The transfer of services provided by Vivacity to Peterborough
Limited and City College Peterborough;
2. The proposed client arrangements and the associated processes to
re-open services;
3. The draft timetable and review process to transfer these
services to their final delivery provider;
4. The financial remuneration package for Peterborough Limited and
City College Peterborough to deliver services in this interim
period.
