    Decision Maker: Cabinet

    Decision status: Recommendations Approved

    Is Key decision?: Yes

    Is subject to call in?: Yes

    Decision:

    That the business case presents a fair reflection of the broad potential benefits of establishing a partnership with an external commercial print supplier.

     

    That the information presented in the business case provides a robust basis upon which to initiate a procurement process to identify potential commercial partners.

     

    That soft market testing continues in order to further develop the model set out in the business case, particularly in terms of evaluating market potential and projecting future sources and levels of income.

     

    The model described in the business case be used, as part of an EU compliant procurement process (Restricted Procedure with Competitive Dialogue), as the framework for negotiations with potential commercial partners.

    Reasons for the decision:

    In order that the Council can proactively pursue its intention to be financially self-sufficient by 2020, it is essential that the Council establishes the commercial vehicles necessary to provide opportunities to increase income and, where possible, reduce costs.

     

    The establishment of this joint venture company will enable the Council to protect its existing investment in print services (people and equipment) whilst also creating opportunities to enhance the commercial potential of a business that is equipped to service a wider range of customers across the public, private and third sectors.

    Alternative options considered:

    None considered.

    Resource Implications:

    The joint venture company will also require a range of support services in areas such as HR, Finance and IT. It is anticipated that these services will be competitively sources and that the Council will be provided with an opportunity to submit a bid for each contract,
