NORTH YORKSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL
NOTICE OF URGENT ITEM
Access to Information Procedure Rule 15 – General
Exception
<AI1>
Supplier Appointment for delivery of
the Household Support Fund.
To the Chairman of the Corporate & Partnerships Overview and
Scrutiny Committee
The County
Council’s Constitution provides that if a matter which is
likely to be a key decision has not been included on the
Council’s Forward Plan for the requisite period, the decision
may still be taken if an urgency procedure is followed.
Under Access to
Information Procedure Rule 15:
15.1 If the publication of the intention to make
a key decision is impracticable and a matter which is likely to be
a key decision has not been included in the forward plan for the
requisite period as set out in Rule 13.2, then subject to Rule 16
(special urgency), the decision may still be taken if:
(a) the Assistant Chief Executive (Legal and Democratic
Services) has informed the Chairman of a relevant overview and
scrutiny committee, or if there is no such person, each member of
that committee by notice in writing, of the matter about which the
decision is to be made;
(b) the Assistant Chief Executive (Legal and Democratic
Services) has made copies of that notice available to the public at
the offices of the Council and on the Council’s website;
and
(c) at least five clear days have elapsed following the day
on which the Assistant Chief Executive (Legal and Democratic
Services) complied with (a) and (b).
15.2 As soon as reasonably practicable after the
Assistant Chief Executive (Legal and Democratic Services) has
complied with (a) to (c) above, s/he must make available at the
Council’s offices a notice setting out the reasons why
compliance with Rule 13.2 is impracticable and publish that notice
on the Council’s website.
It is anticipated
that on 3 May 2022, the
Assistant Director - Policy, Partnerships
and Communities will consider a report seeking approval for
the direct award of a contract to Blackhawk via the Crown
Commercial Services (CCS) Framework to administer the delivery of
the voucher scheme to support the Household Support Fund
The intention to
make the key decision has been published on the Forward Plan but
not for the full, requisite 28 clear day period.
This matter requires a
decision by the Assistant Director -
Policy, Partnerships and Communities on 3 May 2022 and cannot reasonably be deferred,
to enable the timely consideration and progress of this matter,
due to short timescale available to
appoint a supplier to administer the voucher scheme.
In
accordance with the General Exception provisions in Access to
Information Procedure Rule 15, I am, therefore, informing you
as Chairman of the Corporate
& Partnerships Overview and Scrutiny Committee
that it is intended that this
matter be considered by Assistant Director - Policy,
Partnerships and Communities on 3 May
2022.
