Reprofiling of the repayments of the loan made to Kimmeridge Fossil Museum.  The letter (also attached to the email accompanying this form) sets out the details of the arrangement.

Essentially Purbeck DC and Dorset County Council each made loans to the museum.  The first repayments were subsequently not affordable for the museum, so as well as consolidating the two loans into one (by virtue of the establishment of Dorset Council) the repayments were reprofiled in line with a revised business plan originally seen by Richard Bates and Steve Mackenzie.

Dorset County Council commissioned care and support for approximately 893 people who have a Learning Disability and are eligible for funded support within the framework of the Care Act 2014.

Services for people with learning disabilities have previously been  purchased via a mixture of contract types. The Dorset Care Framework for People with Learning Disabilities will replace the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) which has been in operated by the Commissioning Partners since 1st June 2016 and the residential and nursing contract which expired on November 2017.

On 18 July 2018, Cabinet instructed that a new set of contract arrangements should be put in place to ensure that the council:

•           is compliant with contract and procurement rules and have a legal contract in place for 1st April 2019. 

•           can procure care and support that demonstrates good value for money, meets eligible need and is compliant with Care Quality Commission standards.

•           can continue to shape the market to deliver a more personalised approach and can progress integrated health and social care commissioning and pathways.

The procurement for a new framework would be joint procurement with CCG partners but would be led by Dorset County Council.

Following a tendering process and consideration of a recommendation to award report approval is given for lots 1,2,4,5,6 and 10) with lots 3,7,8 and 9 to be tendered later.

Communication with providers in these lots should be made as planned on 15th March 2019.

Lot 11 is not approved and must not be awarded at this time.  The wording was authorised, subject to approval from Legal colleagues, and should be included in the Provider communications for notification of outcome of tender and the OJEU Contract Award Notice.  Procurement colleagues are expected to seek legal approval of the proposed wording before issue.

Lot 11 will not be awarded due to further due diligence work required by the Council in relation to its Public Sector Equality Duty.

The recommendations were that:

(a) The application to divert part of Bridleway 12, Verwood from A – B – C to A – D – E – F – G – H as shown on Drawing 14/42 (Appendix 1) be accepted and an order made;

(b) The Order include provisions to modify the definitive map and statement to record the changes made as a consequence of the diversion; and

(c) If the Order is unopposed, or if any objections are withdrawn, it be confirmed by the County Council without further reference to the Chairman and Service Director, Environment, Infrastructure & Economy.

Revised scheme of delegation adopted by Dorset County Council on 14 November 2013 - the delegated authority in relation to matters reserved to the Roads and Rights of Way Committee (then the Regulatory Committee) was approved on 15 May 2014.  This relates past delegations of former Dorset County Council.   This decision was made in accordance with the former scheme of delegation, but was not published until after the end of the Council on 30 March 2019.
