Decision details

The Cabinet will be asked to approve proposals relating to the future of the Elevate East London joint venture between the Council and Agilisys.

The Cabinet Member for Customer Services introduced a report on proposals in respect of services currently being delivered by Elevate East London LLP, via the Council’s joint venture agreement with Agilisys.

The Cabinet Member pointed out that a key driver behind the service review proposals was the need for increased flexibility due to the considerable financial pressures faced by the Council over the next few years.  He outlined the potential benefits that could be achieved from a reconfiguration of services and advised that initial discussions with Agilisys had been positive. 

Cabinet resolved:

(i)  To agree, in principle, to the Council investigating alternative means of provision of Incremental Services currently delivered by Elevate East London LLP under the Incremental Services Partnership Agreement, as outlined in the report;

(ii)  To approve the ten key principles described in paragraph 2.8 of the report for the continued provision of services via Elevate East London / Agilisys;

(iii)  To authorise the Chief Finance Officer, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Customer Services, to enter into and progress negotiations with Elevate East London / Agilisys, where appropriate via the Elevate Strategic Partner Board; and

(iv)  That further reports be presented to Cabinet on the progress of negotiations and final proposals in respect of the delivery of the Incremental Services.
