Issue - meetings

To consider the head of partnership and insight’s report. 

Cabinet considered the report of the head of partnership and insight, which updated on implementing the changes to the Five Councils Partnership corporate services contract with Capita.  The report also set out an action plan for the council to address immediate deficiencies in the council’s IT systems. 

Cabinet considered that progress had been made to service provision to better meet the council’s needs and thanked the officers and Capita for this. 

RESOLVED: to

(a)      support the proposed changes being progressed with the Five Councils Partnership and to note the process required to enact them;

(b)      confirm that the delegated responsibility for completing the proposed changes rests with the chief executive in line with the Five Councils Partnership Inter-Authority Agreement; and 

(c)       request officers to brief Cabinet members on the implications of the proposed changes and the changes in the deed of variation completed earlier this year.
