Report of Corporate Director Communities.

Decision:

The Corporate Director Communities submitted a report outlining the Business Health Matters Programme funded by the European Structural and Innovation Fund and seeking permission to accept the grant and agree the approach outlined in the report in conjunction with Active Lancashire in delivering the programme to the Wyre business community.

 

Decisions

 

The Leisure, Health and Community Engagement Portfolio Holder agreed that:

 

·       the Business Health Matters programme be supported by the council and that the council enter into a Service Level Agreement and Collaboration Agreement with Active Lancashire to deliver the project, with the council acting as accountable body.

 

·       the council recruit to a new post of Healthy Workplaces Co-ordinator for the duration of the project (Summer 2021 to December 2023), funded from the European Structural and Investment Fund (ESIF).

 

·       in order to attract a grant of £188,630 from ESIF, we agree to provide match funding (over the three years of the project) by way of an in-kind contribution from staff currently employed within the Active Lives and Community Engagement Team and Economic Development Team to a value of £125,750 (this excludes the new post).

 

The Resources Portfolio Holder gave approval to proceed with the engagement of lifestyle service providers under the exemption to Contract Procedures contained within the Financial Regulations and Financial Procedure Rules, on the grounds that exceptions may apply where: “The services are of a specialised nature carried out by only one or a limited number of organisations which have local experience with no reasonably satisfactory alternatives available.”
