Decision details
Decision Maker: Babergh Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Decision:
It was RESOLVED:-
1.1 That a business case is developed by officers which explores the opportunities a Joint Venture would create to deliver Building Services.
1.2 That a business case, with a preferred option for the delivery of Building Services is presented to Cabinet, by early 2020, for a decision.
Reason for Decision: The delivery of an efficient and effective, value for money building service continues to present a range of challenges. To ensure we provide the highest level of service to our tenants whilst managing costs, the development of this business case would explore the opportunities and benefits to deliver services within an alternative business model in the future.
Alternative Options Considered and Rejected:
1.2 The first option is the ‘Status Quo’ in which officers would continue to manage and develop the Building Service in accordance to the current Business Plan.
1.3 The second option is to consider alternatives to the current business model, which could include outsourcing the service or finding an alternative partner to enter into a joint venture with. However, these have been discounted because there are no immediate opportunities to develop these options.
Any Declarations of Interest Declared: None
Any Dispensation Granted: None
