    Minutes:

    Ms Grosskopf (Refugee Resettlement Programme Manager, Strategic and Corporate Services) and Ms Holden (Strategic Commissioning Manager, Strategic and Corporate Services) were in attendance for this item

     

    (1)        Ms Grosskopf introduced the report which concerned proposals to externally commission the majority of the resettlement support (including the property set-up elements) of refugee resettlement in Kent.

     

    a)    In response to a question, Ms Grosskopf confirmed that the secure ring-fenced Government grant that was attached to each individual refugee was paid in three instalments throughout the year. She also confirmed that there was no call on the general Kent County Council or district budgets as all expenditure was paid from the Government grant.

     

    (2)        It was proposed and agreed by the Committee that point (ii) of the recommendation be amended from ‘To delegate decisions about the commissioning process and the implementation of the new contracts to the Corporate Director of Children, Young People and Education’ to ‘To delegate decisions about the commissioning process and the implementation of the new contracts to the Corporate Director of Children, Young People and Education, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Education’.

     

    (3)        RESOLVED that the decision proposed to be taken by the Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Education to:

     

    (i)            Commission via a competitive tender the refugee resettlement support service in Kent; and

     

    (ii)          To delegate decisions about the commissioning process and the implementation of the new contracts to the Corporate Director of Children, Young People and Education, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Education,

     

    be endorsed.
