Decision Outcome

On 13 February 2024, Cabinet:-

(i)       Approved for Birmingham City Council to enter into an Agreement with and accept funding from WMCA for the Commonwealth Games Legacy (CWGL) Enhancement Fund - Wider Jobs & Skills & Wellbeing activity’ in Birmingham and deployment of this funding;

(ii)       Authorised for a negotiated procedure of contracts without competition to commence in accord with the Procurement and Contract Governance Rules.

(iii)      Acknowledged that a waiver approach is being requested from specific elements of the Procurement and Contract Governance Rules for the ‘Mentor Me’ project. This is below the threshold for Cabinet approval requirement;

(iv)      Approved for award of contracts following the negotiated procedure and waiver of procedure conclusion and to consequently enter into back-to-back Agreements with organisations to provide the project activities following the procedures, as above;

(v)      Delegated authority to the Deputy Leader to work with the Executive Director for Children and Families, and the Chief Finance Officer, Finance & Governance to accept the funding offer and enter into the Agreements;

(vi)      Authorised the City Solicitor to execute and complete all necessary legal documents to give effect to the above, including noting the satisfactory Contract Awards by the Head of Procurement.
