What is a 'Key Decision'?

A key decision is an executive decision which is likely to:

  • result in the Authority incurring expenditure or making savings over £500,000, or
  • have a significant effect on communites living or working in an area comprising one or more wards.
  • Article 13 of the Council's Constitution provides more details about which decisions will be treated as key decisions.

    Forthcoming Key Decisions

    20/05/2016 - Request for permission to undertake a competitive tender exercise for the delivery of child sexual exploitation (CSE) training

    Leeds City Council Children’s Services currently has two providers delivering CSE training to Children’s Services practitioners.

     

    One of these contract is due to expire which has initiated a review of CSE training.

    An audit of CSE training needs has been undertaken to ascertain gaps in provision.

    Marketing testing was undertaken to establish whether there was a competitive market for CSE training.

    Both of our existing providers have been consulted with regards to our plans to move to a combined contract for CSE training in relation to boys/young men and girls/young men.

    Consultation has taken place with regional partners to establish their appetitive to join with our contract arrangements.

    This report seeks permission to undertake a competitive tender exercise for the delivery of CSE training.

    The tender will be on behalf of regional partners. All partners will be named within the decision report. It will be a call off contract and the anticipated spend for Leeds will be approximately £10k p.a.

    The contract will be for 5 years and therefore once the spend for each LA partner is taken into consideration over the 5 years the overall contract value is likely to be in excess of £250k.
