2) The Director of Children’s Services approved the invocation of CPR 21.7 to vary the following contracts

The value of each variation must be assessed by the Authorised Officer and a Delegated Decision taken by the relevant Chief Officer
· HomeStart Leeds: A variation to reduce the annual value of the contract from £210,000 to £189,000. This represents a saving of 10%, or £21,000 per annum. The contract variation shall commence on 1 April 2017
· BARCA Leeds: A variation to reduce the annual value of the contract from £475,000 to £340,000. This represents a reduction of 28%, or £135,000 per annum. However, the reduction includes £75,000 of Families First funding which is due to end on 31st March 17 and it is not yet clear whether any further funding may be available, therefore the annual saving to LCC is £60,000. The contract variation shall commence on 1 April 2017
· Women’s Health Matters: A variation to reduce the annual value of the contract from £42,432 to £36,067. This represents a saving of 15%, or £6,365 per annum. The contract variation shall commence on 1 April 2017
