Minutes: The Chair explained that it had been decided to withdraw the Call- In regarding the Prevention and Early Intervention Contract Awards on the understanding that: a) The decision to award the contract to Community Barnet is referred back to Cabinet for further consideration and b) Officers agree to produce a report to Overview and Scrutiny Committee in due course, summarising the success measures and performance expectations that are built into the more detailed agreements with each consortia. Councillor Levy went on to say that the Committee would not enter into any further discussion on this item, for now, as there were no outstanding issues of contention for the Overview and Scrutiny Committee to consider.
Bindi Nagra stated that this matter would therefore be brought back to Cabinet. He emphasised the need for promptness as a number of funding for organisations would come to an end in November. It was pointed out however, that it was necessary for sufficient notice to be given before the item could be considered by Cabinet. |
