Decisions for issue Royal Paviliion & Museums - Future Governance

RESOLVED – That the Committee:

1)        Approve the option to proceed with the procurement for a 25 year term contract as set out in the report.

2)        Authorise the Chief Executive to award a contract externalising the future management of the Royal Pavilion and Museums on completion of the procurement process.  

3)        Agree that consideration may need to be given to maintaining the council’s funding level for up to 3 years to support viable bids for operating the service.  This would result in changes to the current level of savings assumed in the 4-year Service & Financial Plans for 2017/18 to 2019/20.
