Is Key decision?: No

Purpose:

It had been previously agreed through ODR RE17 0031 that an internal Independent Travel Co-Ordinator would be in place within DMBC and the task of recruitment of the Travel Trainers (Travel Buddies) would be contracted out to an external company.

KEYFORT Group Ltd won the contract to supply Independent Travel Training TRainers to Doncaster Council. The contract ran from 1/12/17 until 31/05/2019. However by 12/07/18 no buddies had been recruited.

Following a meeting in June 2018, where the concerns of DMBC were voiced, and to establish an Action plan, an email was received from KEYFORT Group Ltd asking to be released from the contract on 09/07/18.

Decision:

To accept KEYFORT Group's offer to be released from the Independent Training Contract.

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - Do Nothing
Option 2 - Accept KEYFORT's offer to walk away from the contract
