Appendices 2, 3 and 4 of this report are not for publication by virtue of Categories 3 and 4 of paragraph 10.4 of the Council’s Access to Information Procedure Rules as contained in the Council’s Constitution.

Report of the Cabinet Member for Leisure, Culture and Heritage seeking approval  

To move that in accordance with the Council’s Constitution, specifically the Access to Information procedure Rules contained within the Constitution, the press and public be excluded from the meeting in respect of any consideration of the confidential appendix to Item no: 21

Confidential Appendix 1 contains information deemed to be exempt from general publication based on Category 3 of Paragraph 10.4 of the Council’s Access to Information Procedure Rules. The Appendix includes details of a proposed transaction which, if disclosed prior to entering into a contract, could put the Council at a commercial disadvantage in the future. In applying the public interest test it is not considered appropriate to make public offers received as this could lead to a revision of bids and, in the event of the transaction failing to complete, prejudice re-marketing of the property, therefore reducing the amount receivable by the Council.

Report of the Cabinet Member for Resources and Workforce Management approval for the sale of land at Town Depot, attached.

To move that in accordance with the Council’s Constitution, specifically the Access to Information procedure Rules contained within the Constitution, the press and public be excluded from the meeting in respect of any consideration of the confidential appendices to Item No:23:

Appendices 2, 4, 5 and 6 of this report are not for publication by virtue of categories 3 (financial and business affairs), and 7A (obligation of Confidentiality) of paragraph 10.4 of the Council's Access to Information Procedure Rules as contained in the Council's Constitution.

It is not in the public interest to disclose this information as the appendices contain confidential and commercially sensitive information supplied by the bidders to the procurement. This information has been supplied during the course of a strictly regulated procurement process which included provision for transparency and openness where appropriate. It would prejudice the Council’s ability to operate in a commercial environment and obtain best value in procurement negotiations and would prejudice the Council’s commercial relationships with third parties if they believed the Council would not honour any obligation of confidentiality.
