Decision details

The Corporate Director Communities has submitted a report seeking the approval to extend the contract of the preferred external lottery manager, Gatherwell, to continue to manage and support the Wyre Community Lottery for a further five years.

Decision

The Resources Portfolio Holder agreed:

·         That approval is given to extend our contract with Gatherwell and for Gatherwell to act as our external lottery manager for a further five years (subject to annual review).

·         That approval is given to allow the procurement under the exemptions to contract procedures contained within the Financial Regulations and Financial Procedure Rules. This is on the grounds that exemptions are permitted to contract procedures where the “goods, works or services are of a specialised nature carried out by only one or a limited number of firms with no reasonable satisfactory alternatives available.”
