Lead officer: Siobhan Farmer
Notice of decision: 23/01/2023
This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.
Reason for urgency:
This decision will be taken as an urgent decision under the council’s general exception procedures (as set out in the Council’s Constitution, Rules on Access to Information Procedure Rules).
Reason for implementing the decision under the council’s general exception rules
The notification of withdrawal of a commissioned provider on Lot 5i of the Community and Accommodation Based Support Pseudo Framework has come at short notice prior to the end of the current contractual term on 31st March 2023. In order to limit the risks associated with having to move vulnerable young adults into alternative accommodation, (potentially at great cost to ourselves and disruption to the service user), the council will need to commence a procurement process as soon as possible in order to appoint and mobilise a replacement provider.
As this decision is urgent, it has not been possible to give the required 28 days notice of this key decision.
To seek approval to exercise the 3 year option to extend the exisiting provision of actuarial services to the Gloucestershire Pension Fund contract following expiry of the initial 4 year term on 31 March 2023.

The County Council undertook a consultation
exercise on the proposal to extend the age range of Widden Primary
School from 4-11 to 2-11 between 7th March 2022 and 1st April 2022.
The consultation followed a request from the Regional Schools
Commissioner at the Department for Education to publish a statutory
notice on extending the age range for the school during the
conversion of the school to an academy. The proposed extension to
the age range of the school was dependent on the conversion of the
school to an academy.
There were no objections to the age range being extended from 4-11
to 2-11. However, following the publication of a statutory notice
to extend the age range and the conclusion of the four-week period
for representations to be made, Widden Primary School’s
Governing Body decided not to proceed to convert the School to an
academy. Therefore, it is proposed to abandon the proposal to
extend the age range of the School from 4-11 to 2-11 years pending
the school identifying further sponsors to enable the School to
convert to an academy.
