Decision type: Key

Decision status: For Determination

Notice of proposed decision first published: 08/09/2021

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
On this occasion it has been impracticable to publish a notification of this key decision (part exempt) via the Forward Plan 28 days in advance of the date the decision is to be made.
Cheltenham BID has recently handed over the Christmas ice rink to CBC to lead and deliver. CBC will contract directly with the rink supplier, rather than as a partner/contributor to the BID. The value of this contract exceeds any delegated authority levels for this to be an officer decision and thus requires Cabinet approval.It is expected that costs will be off-set with the revenue from ticket sales.
Tthe supplier requires confirmation of order and deposit payment as soon as possible or Cheltenham risks losing the event as the proposed scheduled installation date is less than 10 weeks away.The Chair of Council has agreed, in accordance with 13.5 of the Access to Information Rules that the taking of the decision is urgent and cannot reasonably be deferred. Call-in will not apply (Rule 14.26 O&S Rules)
