Award of Utility Contracts (Gas, Electricity, HH and NHH) to either suppliers under the ESPO or CCS Frameworks – KEY/16MAR20/01

Decision maker:  Cabinet Member for Finance and Corporate Governance

Decision:   September 2020

Lead officer:  Chris Yates

Decision status:  Recommendations Approved

Notice of proposed decision first published: 14/02/2020

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
With the approval of the Chairman of Growth, Environment and Resources Scrutiny Committee, special urgency procedures have been invoked to suspend the requirement to publish for a five day consideration period, and the waiver of call-in procedure has been invoked to suspend the option to call the decision in. These procedures have been invoked due to the need to notify the supplier of the Council’s intention to move to a green electricity tariff on the 1 October 2020, by 31 August 2020 (as requested by the new supplier (TG&P)). If the Council were to miss this deadline, it would remain on a brown electricity tariff, and would fail to achieve the targets previously committed to.

The reason for the urgency now (in respect of meeting the 31 August 2020 deadline) is due to delays in receiving final contract information, and seeking clarity on points of detail following the unexpected passing of a colleague who was previously overseeing this procurement exercise.

Anticipated restriction: Part exempt  - view reasons

Explanation of anticipated restriction:
The attached appendix is NOT FOR PUBLICATION in accordance with paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A of Part 1 of the Local Government Act 1972 in that it contains commercially sensitive information relating to the contracts and information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information). The public interest test has been applied to the information contained within the exempt annex and it is considered that the need to retain the information as exempt outweighs the public interest in disclosing it as to do so

KEY DECISIONS TAKEN UNDER URGENCY PROCEDURES

1.

Agreement to lease 9 three-bedroom houses at Paston Lane, Peterborough

Decision maker:  Cabinet Member for Housing, Culture and Recreation

Decision:   7 Aug 2020

Lead officer:  Tristram Hill

Decision status:  Recommendations Approved

Notice of proposed decision first published: 07/08/2020

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
With the approval of the Chairman of Growth, Environment and Resources Scrutiny Committee, special urgency procedures have been invoked to suspend the requirement to publish on the Forward Plan and the five day consideration period. These procedures have been invoked for the reasons set out below.

The timescale for approval is urgent as initially it was anticipated that the agreement would be concluded in July 2020. In reliance on this the developer has a contractor ready and waiting to start on site and any further delay is likely to prejudice that arrangement and the overall progress of the scheme.

Relevant Scrutiny Committee: Growth, Environment and Resources Scrutiny Committee

2.

Transfer of Services from Vivacity to Peterborough Limited and City College Peterborough New!

Decision maker:  Cabinet Member for Housing, Culture and Recreation

Decision:   24 Aug 2020

Lead officer:  Peter Carpenter

Decision status:  Recommendations Approved

Notice of proposed decision first published: 24/08/2020

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
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.
