Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

In accordance with the attached Officer Decision Record, the Director (Resources and Property), in consultation with the partners of the Anglia Revenues Partnership and the Anglia Revenues and Benefits Partnership Joint Committee, has made a decision to enter into a legal Section 113 agreement with Norwich City Council for the provision of fraud services.

Decision:

To enter into a legal Section 113 agreement with Norwich City Council for the provision of fraud services.

Reasons for the decision:

To enable Anglia Revenues Partnership (ARP) to continue to provide fraud services to Norwich City Council. Benefits to ARP include creating greater resilience and generate further efficiencies which will support ARP’s Medium Term Financial Strategy.  Furthermore, providing a fraud service to Norwich City Council will add social value to the work of ARP and throughout Norfolk; that, in turn, might lead to other, similar approaches and opportunities.

Alternative options considered:

The option to let the existing Section 113 agreement expire was considered and discounted given the reasons set out above.
