The portfolio holder agreed that Fylde Coast YMCA be given a further contract for one year with an option to extend for a further two years to deliver the Wyre Wheels Programme and gave approval to proceed under the exemption to Contract Procedures contained within the Financial Regulations and Financial Procedure Rules (Appendix F) on the grounds that exceptions may apply where “goods, works or services are of a specialist nature carried out by only one or a limited number of firms with no reasonably satisfactory alternatives available.”
