To consider an exempt report of the Director of Adults’ Health and Care seeking approval for the future procurement identified for the meals on wheels service and to authorise the associated financial expenditure.
Decision type: Non-key
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Anticipated restriction: Fully exempt - View reasons
Explanation of anticipated restriction:
This report is not for publication as it contains exempt information within Paragraphs 3 and 5 of Part 1of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972, being information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information) and being information in respect of which a claim to legal professional privilege could be maintained in legal proceedings.
Further it is considered that, in all the circumstances the public interest in maintaining the exemptions outweighs the public interest disclosing the information. While there may be a public interest in disclosing the information namely transparency in relation to on going negotiations it is felt that on balance this is outweighed by other factors in favour of maintaining the exemption namely the need to keep confidential the details of the commercial arrangement and the need for the County Council to obtain confidential legal advice.
