Decision details

Members received the report as circulated within the reports pack.

The Town Clerk briefed Members; explaining that the report concerns awards made to Livewire and the Core of £30,421 each, in line with the tender submissions received by the Town Council. 

Councillor Bullock informed the meeting that based on their submissions and a knowledge of the work carried out, it is evident that their roles have changed from being youth clubs to having support workers and counsellors in place.  Furthermore, assistance is given to children who don’t go to school anymore.  These organisations need all the help they can get, which is reflected in the amounts they have received. 

Councillor Bickford thanked Saltash Team for Youth and supported the funds being awarded, provided the updated insurance documents have been submitted.

It was proposed by Councillor Bickford, seconded by Councillor Suter and RESOLVED:

1.  To note the report and that the delivery of professional youth work in Saltash for 2025/2026 be awarded to:

Livewire £30,421

The Core £30,421

2.  To increase The Core’s bid by £227 due to the ever demanding needs of the service, working within budget 6222 Commissioning Youth Work, subject to insurance documents being received from both Livewire and The Core, prior to releasing the first payment.
