I DECLARATION OF INTEREST

There were no declarations of interest.

II UK SHARED PROSPERITY FUND MULTIPLY ADULT NUMERACY INTERVENTION

There was submitted Report No 117-2023 by the Executive Director of Neighbourhood Services, informing of the proposed delivery approach for the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) Multiply adult numeracy programme interventions, and seeking approval for a waiver of tender procedures to award a contract to Dundee and Angus College as Dundee and Angus College was understood to be the only further education provider in the area with the ability to deliver key aspects of the proposed Multiply interventions to scale and to the required academic level. A VEAT Notice (voluntary ex ante transparency notice) in terms of Regulation 91 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 would be made prior to the intended award to alert the market place of the intended award (allowing any other potential provider to make itself known although this was not considered at all likely).

The Committee agreed:-

(i) to approve the request for waiver of tender procedures to enable Dundee and Angus College to deliver specific Multiply interventions to 800 adults after completion of a VEAT Notice;

(ii) to delegate authority to the Executive Director of Neighbourhood Services to progress the development of the partnership with Dundee and Angus College to deliver specific Multiply interventions; and

(iii) to remit Neighbourhood Services to contribute to an annual report submitted by the Executive Directors of Corporate Services and City Development on progress of the delivery of the UKSPF Investment Plan (including Multiply) to the City Development Committee.
