General exception notice

Rough Sleeping Initiative Grant 2020/21 - Key Decision New!

Decision maker:  Leader of the Council

Decision due:   Not before 5th Feb 2020

Lead officer:  Rachael Harding

Notice of proposed decision first published: 28/01/2020

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
The item could not be included on the 28 Day Notice because we have just received confirmation of government grant and the funding is linked to service delivery that needs to commence on 01 April 2020. This requires contracts to be in place well in advance so recruitment processes can begin and be completed in time for the service start date. The amount of the grant is £1,392,813.00. We are required to spend it in accordance with a programme determined by government. Therefore, there is no flexibility and as such, no discussion about its use is required.

Anticipated restriction: Open  -
