Decision details

Request to award cooperation agreements to Area Inclusion Partnerships under the exempt contracts clause (d) and clause 1.5.2 of Contract Procedure Rules

Reference: D44566

Decision Maker: Director of Children and Families

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The decision to award these cooperation agreements falls within Clause 1.5.2 of the Contract Procedure Rules as it is a cooperation between public bodies and falls outside of the Public Contract Regulations pursuant to Regulation 12(7). Therefore it is not a procurement for the purpose of the Contract Procedure Rules.  This is a key decision because the value of the contract is over £250k per annum.

Decision:

The Director of Children & Families agreed to award cooperation agreements to AIPs for the delivery of services to keep children and young people included in high quality learning for 2017/18 at a value of approximately £5.2m, with the option to extend by a further 12 months.
