Report of the Executive Director, Community & Children’s Services.

The Committee considered a report of the Executive Director, Community & Children’s Services concerning updates Members on the work and achievements of the Partnership for Young London (PYL) since the last review and seeks approval for an extension of the existing Service Level Agreement (SLA) between the City of London Corporation and PYL for an additional five-year term, with the option for annual reviews.

The following points were noted:

• The SLA provides office space and corporate services at a reduced rate of £10,000 per annum, enabling the Partnership to focus on strategic objectives.
• Questions were raised about the governance and review process of the SLA to ensure it remains relevant and beneficial for both parties.
• It was noted that the appendix detailing the SLA was still under legal review and would be shared with Members once finalised.
• The Committee agreed in principle to extend the SLA for another five years, with final approval delegated to the chair and deputy chair after legal review.

RESOLVED – That Members, agree in principle to the approval of the extension of the Service Level Agreement with the Partnership for Young London for a further five years, subject to annual reviews and delegate authority to the Town Clerk in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman for final approval following finalisation of the SLA.
