Minutes:

The Committee considered Minute 771 of Cabinet held on 12th March 2019, which had been called in to scrutiny, together with a report of the Strategic Director (Transformation) which sought approval to a Commissioning Framework to enable the Council to become an outcome-based commissioning organisation.

 

Resolved:-

 

That the decisions of Cabinet, as set out in 1-4 below and the Recommendation as set out in 5 below, be noted:-

 

“1. That the definition of commissioning for Southend-on-Sea Borough Council be as follows:

 

the process by which we understand the collective approach needed in order to deliver the Southend 2050 outcomes; and what we need to do with others to make them happen.  In practice, this is not in-sourcing or out-sourcing but clearly ‘right-sourcing’.”

 

2. That the overarching principles of the Southend-on-Sea Commissioning Framework, be approved.

 

3. That, as part of a transitional period to an outcome based investment model, the Thematic Annual Procurement Plan 2019/20, be approved.

 

4. That the Market Position Statement for publication as set out in paragraph 5.7 and Appendix 4 to the report, be approved.

 

5. That the Constitution be amended as set out in paragraph 5.6 and Appendix 3 of the submitted report.”

 

Note: This is an Executive Function save that Recommendation 5 above is a Council Function.

Resolved:

 

1. That the definition of commissioning for Southend-on-Sea Borough Council be as follows:

 

the process by which we understand the collective approach needed in order to deliver the Southend 2050 outcomes; and what we need to do with others to make them happen.  In practice, this is not in-sourcing or out-sourcing but clearly ‘right-sourcing’.”

 

2. That the overarching principles of the Southend-on-Sea Commissioning Framework, be approved.

 

3. That, as part of a transitional period to an outcome based investment model, the Thematic Annual Procurement Plan 2019/20, be approved.

 

4. That the Market Position Statement for publication as set out in paragraph 5.7 and Appendix 4 to the report, be approved.

 

Recommended:

 

5. That the Constitution be amended as set out in paragraph 5.6 and Appendix 3 of the submitted report.

 

Reasons for decision:

 

As set out in the submitted report.

 

Other options:

 

The alternative option is to carry on deploying a range of approaches for the commissioning, procurement and contracting activity.  This would not best support the delivery of the Southend 2050 ambition and outcomes.

 

Note: This is an Executive Function save that recommendation in 5 above is a Council Function.
