Decision details

This report was not available for the original dispatch to allow for an additional

detailed review of the complex financial considerations relating to the

recommendation. The report was urgent and could wait until the next meeting

of the Mayor & Cabinet Contracts on June 7 2017 because of the

interdependency of the award of contract and the lead in time to establish the

service provision to synchronise with the end of build of the scheme.

Where a report is received less than 5 clear days before the date of the

meeting at which the matter is being considered, then under the Local

Government Act 1972 Section 100(b)(4) the Chair of the Committee can take

the matter as a matter of urgency if he is satisfied that there are special

circumstances requiring it to be treated as a matter of urgency.  These special

circumstances have to be specified in the minutes of the meeting.

Having considered a confidential officer report, and a presentation from the

Cabinet Member for Health, Well Being and Older People, Councillor Chris

Best, Mayor and Cabinet (Contracts) for the reasons set out in the report:

RESOLVED that the award of the contract for extra care services at

Hazelhurst Court be made to Notting Hill Housing Trust for a period of 3 years

(plus possible extension of 2 years) as set out in the financial section.
