Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012

Notice under Regulation 10: Key Decision where less than 28 days’ public notice has been given.

Pursuant to Regulation 10 of the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012 (‘the Regulations’), I hereby give Notice that: -

TheExecutive intends to make a Key Decision on 16 November 2023 regarding Extension of the Young People’s Community Wellbeing and Support Service.

Purpose of Report:

To seek permission to extend the City of York Council’s Community Wellbeing and Support Contract for Young People delivered by Safe and Sound Homes by a further six-months. A review of the Youth Homelessness Pathway is currently being undertaken by Children’s Services. A six-month extension would allow us to incorporate its recommendations into the modelling and recommissioning of the new Service.

The Executive will be asked:

i. To approve the extension of the current Community Wellbeing and Support Contract for Young People with Safe and Sound Homes by 6 months until 31 July 2024.

ii. To delegate authority to the Director of the Corporate Director of Adults and Integration (and their delegated officers) in consultation with both the Director Governance and the Chief Finance Officer (and their respective delegated officers) to draft, negotiate and conclude any necessary documentation with Safe and Sound Homes to extend the Contract, in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Contract, the Council’s Contract Procedure Rules set out within Appendix 11 of the Council’s Constitution and the Council’s statutory obligations under the Public Contract Regulations 2015.

It has not been possible to give 28 clear days’ notice of the intention to make this Key Decision. The reason why compliance has not been possible in this instance is due to a short delay in the internal governance process.
