What are you proposing to do? |
We are proposing to extend the current Health and Safety contract for 2 years to start from 1st April 2027 |
||||||
|
Why are you proposing this? What are the desired outcomes? |
Currently health and safety services that are provided for our key venues and events are due to expire on 31st March 2027 and we have the option to extend this for 2 years |
||||||
|
Does the proposal involve a significant commitment or removal of resources? Please give details. |
Health and Safety provisions are already used and booked so this will require no additional resources.

Impact on people with any of the following protected characteristics as defined by the Equality Act 2010, or NYC’s additional agreed characteristics As part of this assessment, please consider the following questions: · To what extent is this service used by particular groups of people with protected characteristics? · Does the proposal relate to functions that previous consultation has identified as important? · Do different groups have different needs or experiences in the area the proposal relates to?
If for any characteristic it is considered that there is likely to be an adverse impact or you have ticked ‘Don’t know/no info available’, then a full EIA should be carried out where this is proportionate. You are advised to speak to your directorate representative for advice if you are in any doubt.
