As detailed in the recommendation.

Councillor Roberts introduced the report which provided details on the background and process of a proposed change, a “Deed of Adherence” to the existing agreed Strategic Partnering Agreement (SPA).  The SPA facilitated the delivery of education and community facilities through the Welsh Government’s Mutual Investment Model (MIM) and to seek approval to enter into the Deed of Adherence.

            Subject to appropriate agreement from Continuing Participants (Welsh Councils and Further Education Institutes) the Deed of Adherence would be completed by Welsh Government later in 2021.

RESOLVED:

In noting the recommendation below it is worded quite specifically by Bevan Brittain the legal advisors to Welsh Government and WEPCo to ensure that all partners to that agreement have a regularised and formally agreed set of wording.  This is to ensure consistency across the partnership, who will be submitting broadly similar reports to their respective organisations at or around the same time period:

That the execution, delivery and performance of a supplemental agreement to the Welsh Education Partnership (WEP) Strategic Partnering Agreement (SPA) dated 30^th September 2020 (the “Deed of Adherence”) be approved, in order that from the date of execution of the Deed of Adherence the Joining Partnerships are able to give effect to and be bound by the terms of the WEP Strategic Partnering Agreement dated 30^th September 2020 as a party to it, to facilitate the delivery of a range of infrastructure services and the delivery of education and community facilities.
