Support for GLL during Covid 19 Crisis
Decision Taken

In accordance with PPN02/20 the Council received a request from GLL for assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

  1. The Council currently pays its subsidy to GLL monthly and in order to assist GLL with Cash flow, it is to pay the next 3-months subsidy in advance (covering the period June to August 2020).
2. An open book approach has been put forward to determine the impact of any financial assistance that may be required over and above the normal subsidy level to the end of June 2020 (Any additional payment to be paid by the Council once actuals are known and agreed by both parties.)

Reports and background Papers
Reason for Decision

To support our Leisure Partners during the Covid-19 closure period and enable them to remobilise quickly and effectively.

GLL have and continue to mitigate the impact and reduce costs to the minimum.

The City Council is currently carrying out a major capital investment project on its leisure facilities which is integral to reducing the leisure subsidy to a net zero position through the existing 15-year Leisure contract which commenced in 2017.

To ensure that the City Council complies with Cabinet Office Public Procurement Notice PPN02/20.

Guidance from the LGA also indicates that local authorities may have an obligation to meet financial assistance requests by Leisure Trusts should they suffer losses.
Details of alternative options considered and rejected
Not offer support to GLL – this would likely lead to contract failure and the need to seek an alternative method of delivering the services provided by the Leisure Contract which could lead to a delay in remobilising services and increased costs to the authority.
