Minutes:
Victoria Willett, Shared Services Lead – Transformation and Partnerships presented a report giving details of the Key Contracts and Partnerships Framework for South Ribble Borough Council.
The following responses were provided by officers to member queries:
- With regard to the considerations outlined at paragraph 8 – we don’t need to fulfil all 6 bullet points. However, there is the opportunity to expand the list to include large scale contracts. This would be a decision for Cabinet.
-We will be including the Leisure Trading Company (LATC) as a contractual relationship – the company and the Council are separate entities but not the traditional partnership the Council has with other partners.
-Regarding issues such as Modern Slavery – contracts are monitored via the Procurement Rules.
The Chair asked a question regarding ethical standards and partnerships. The Shared Service Lead - Transformation and Partnerships indicated this would be considered as part of the agreed values/behaviours of honesty, integrity, objectivity, openness etc. We will look at how to monitor this in relation to partnerships.
RESOLVED (unanimously):-
To endorse the Key Contracts and Partnerships Framework for approval by Cabinet.
