Exempt Items The Monitoring Officer has determined that category 3 of the Access to Information Procedure Rules applies to the following items. His view on the public interest test (having taken account of the provisions of Rule 14.8 of the Council's Access to Information Rules) was that to make this information public would disclose information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information).
These factors in his view outweigh the public interest in disclosing this information. Members are asked to consider these factors when determining the public interest test, which they must decide when considering excluding the public from this part of the meeting.
Minutes: RESOLVED to exclude the public for the following item of business on the grounds that there would be disclosure to them of exempt information under category 3 of The Local Authorities (Access to Information) (Variation) (Wales) Order 2007).

Management of the Powys County Council owned Residential Homes To consider a report by County Councillor Stephen Hayes, Portfolio Holder for Adult Social Care. Additional documents:
Minutes: Cabinet considered arrangements for managing the Council’s care homes and Glan Irfon beyond the current contract term which was due to end in May 2019. A competitive tender exercise had been undertaken and the tenders evaluated and on the basis of the evaluation it was being recommended that the tender be awarded to the winning bidding organisation and to work with them in developing the service and to plan future developments to the service over the period of the contract. There were two Lots within the tender, the winning bidder was the same for both Lots.
Members asked the Section 151 Officer whether the proposal was in budget and were advised that the additional cost had been included in the service pressures identified within the budget plan. These pressures were being supported by proposals to deliver savings to mitigate these costs. The risks associated with the delivery of the savings had been considered as part of the overarching budget plan and the identification of additional budget to increase the budget management reserve would ensure that these risks could be covered.
Members discussed whether the proposal was transformational and it was agreed that the service would report within 12 months on options for service transformation and service efficiency.
