Decision details

This report was accepted as late and urgent because of late clarification of a

number of key aspects of the report and is urgent because the contracts run

out at the end of March 2020 and the organisations require notice to retain

staff and continue to provide services.  

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

Mayor, the Mayor and Cabinet for the reasons set out in the report by a vote

of 8-0:
