Background:

This report outlined the achievements and performance of Medway Norse up to the second quarter in its third year of trading. It also detailed its plans for future growth and development.

It was noted that Medway Norse now provided services to the Council in three main areas: facilities management, grounds maintenance and SEN transport. The report gave details of these areas of operation, together with information relating to governance, local business participation, the corporate client function and the rebate (£338,733) for the Council in 2014/2015.

The Business Support Overview and Scrutiny Committee was considering monitoring reports on a quarterly basis and it was noted that the Committee had considered a report on 3 December 2015. Details of this discussion were set out in section 4 of the report.

Reasons:

When Cabinet agreed to establish the joint venture company it was also agreed that regular monitoring reports would be provided to Cabinet.
