2) That the ability to approve the necessary deed of variation (which supported changes to the Joint Venture Agreement) and amend any contract documentation resulting from the inclusion of Procurement into PSPS Ltd be delegated to the Deputy Chief Executive (S151 Officer) in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Finance, Commercialisation and Partnerships.
Reasons for the decision:
The business case set out a clear proposal for the future provision of procurement and contract services across the three Councils, as well as being a financially positive proposition.

To do nothing, which would result in the partnership having 3 different solutions for procurement and contract work.
