Agenda item

Members were asked to consider recommissioning the Employability for Under 16s initiative for 2016, giving due consideration to the performance update presentation by C & K Careers at the beginning of the meeting.  The initiative, if recommissioned, will need to be advertised in November and will be subject to a full procurement process, with preparatory work commencing during the Spring term of 2016.  Members acknowledged that there may be an opportunity to run this initiative in partnership with the North Area Council, which has been identified as Good Practice.  It was felt that an element of performance related pay should be included within the specification, as actual numbers of young people fell short of the target. 

RESOLVED that the Employability for Under 16’s contract be advertised at a maximum contract value of £45,000 with a specific clause relating to performance related pay included therein.
