The Cabinet will be asked to approve proposals relating to the Council’s membership of a Pan-London Vehicle (PLV) for Commissioning, led by London Councils, which will bring local authorities together in a new jointly owned legal vehicle to plan and commission provision for London children. The PLV will initially focus on Secure Welfare provision, as there is currently no provision in London, and will have the scope to work more broadly across children’s commissioning, firstly with a focus on high-cost low incidence provision and subsequently wider residential provision. All projects would be agreed through the jointly owned vehicle by the participating local authorities.
