Devon Districts Procurement Strategy 2019-2022
Devon Districts Procurement Strategy 2019-2022 1 CONTENTS Introduction Background Outcomes Action Plan Contacts 2 Introduction This is the third iteration of the Devon District Procurement Strategy. The strategy sets out our vision and our priorities for the next four years to 2022 incorporating the latest government procurement legislation and initiatives. We aim to provide quality services that are responsive to the needs of our communities and deliver optimum value for money. The strategy sets out how we aim to achieve this over the longer term and includes an action plan for the forthcoming year which will be regularly reviewed and a new action plan produced each year. By taking a collaborative approach we can improve the quality of the goods, services and works which we purchase whilst still seeking to achieve value for money and make the savings necessary to support the austerity measures. The Devon Districts who will be adopting this strategy are: Exeter City Council Mid Devon District Council North Devon District Council South Hams District Council Teignbridge District Council Torridge District Council West Devon Borough Council. It is the intention of the majority of Districts that this will be the sole procurement strategy for their council. What is procurement? Procurement is concerned with securing goods, works and services. The process spans the whole cycle, from identification of needs through to the end of a service or the end of the useful life of an asset and its disposal. It is concerned with securing goods and services that best meet the needs of users and the local community in order to help achieve our key priorities. -

Devon County Council Position Statement (Respondent Ref No
Dartmoor Local Plan 2018-2036 Examination Matter 9: Site Allocations Wednesday 10th March 2021 Devon County Council Position Statement (Respondent ref no. 0049) Statement Prepared February 2021 Devon County Council County Hall Topsham Road Exeter Devon EX2 4QD Dartmoor Local Plan 2018-2036 Wednesday 10th March Examination Matter 9 Devon County Council 1. Introduction 1.1. Purpose of this Statement 1.1.1. This statement has been prepared to answer question 1 in relation to matter 9, issue 2 (Site Allocations: all) and question 1 in relation to matter 9, proposal 7.22 (2) (Warren Rd, Mary Tavy) for the Dartmoor Local Plan Review 2018-2036 Examination. These questions are: • Are the site allocations appropriate and justified in light of potential constraints, infrastructure requirements and adverse impacts? Are the sites viable and deliverable? • In light of the acknowledged lack of funding for a school on this site, would the site be likely to be developed within the Plan period and if not would its safeguarding be justified? 1.1.2. It should be noted that this statement does not cover all of the questions raised by the Planning Inspector in relation to matter 9 but focuses upon those issues in which Devon County Council (DCC) has a specific interest in order to fulfil its statutory responsibilities (i.e. as the Education Authority). 2. Are the site allocations appropriate and justified in lights of potential constraints, infrastructure requirements and adverse impacts? Are the sites viable and deliverable? 2.1.1. The site proposals in Ashburton (proposal 7.3 and 7.4) would allocate housing in an area where the local primary school has no capacity for the additional pupils generated by the developments. -
Devon County Council Senior Council for Devon
• Other things we think would help in other developments: - a longer timescale - the two year target was testing for all parties; - clarity and a higher national profile about national expectations of the model to be adopted; - older people did not recognise ‘Better Government for Older People’; - a wider range of older people can in theory be involved through organisations they choose to be members of, and there are disadvantages in trying to establish a new Devon County membership organisation, but it is difficult to marry individual and group membership in the same organisation. The Government’s citizen involvement agenda requires individual involvement; a resolution is needed over a period of experience. Council • Tendering (a legal requirement) and a contractual approach makes a difference to this type of work. • The tender was won by an independent consultancy from elsewhere in the County (Peter Fletcher Associates - PFA). We picked up traces of local resentment on the part of some voluntary sector interests which may have inhibited the development of the SCfD in certain areas. LinkAge Plus • We have gained much from the undoubted expertise of the contractors. However, we feel that separating expertise from development within the tendering process could have given greater value. • AGILE were given the status of co-commissioners of this work. We would recommend this. However, the development was a complex process which some older people who were involved found confusing, and in some cases there was a sense of loss as more older people became involved and distress when processes seemed beyond their control and the differences between the existing model of engagement and the new one Senior Council for became apparent. -

This information has been produced by the Dartmoor National Park Authority in conjunction with Dartmoor For All, and is designed to help and encourage those who are disabled, less mobile or have young children, to relax, unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet of the beautiful countryside in the Dartmoor area. This information will help you to make the right choices for your day out. Nearly half of Dartmoor is registered common land. Under the Dartmoor Commons Act 1985, a right of access was created for persons on foot or horseback. This right extends to those using wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters, although one should be aware that the natural terrain and gradients may curb access in practice.

Statement of Intent
Energy Company Obligation: Help to Heat Local Authority Flexible Eligibility Statement of Intent Local authority: West Devon Borough Council and South Hams District Council Date of publication: 14 December 2017 Version: 2 URL: https://www.westdevon.gov.uk/article/4188/Reducing-Fuel-Bills https://www.southhams.gov.uk/article/4187/Reducing-Fuel-Bills 1. Introduction West Devon Borough Council and South Hams District Council welcomes the introduction of Flexible Eligibility (FE) and intends to utilise it for the purposes of reducing fuel poverty in the borough. South Hams West Devon Regional Average 12.2% Number of households 5113 3622 Percentage of households 13.2% 15.2% (Government statistics) Fuel poverty is more prevalent in groups with low household incomes, including pensioners, benefit recipient, and working families with below average incomes. Fuel poverty is highest and has increased fastest, in the most deprived areas. The low wage economy, particularly in West Devon and higher living costs contribute further to levels of fuel poverty. The council runs a number a loan schemes, as well as being a part of Devon-wide schemes and initiatives to tackle fuel poverty and improve housing conditions for those who are particularly vulnerable to the cold in the private sector. One of the primary objectives of Environmental Health is to remedy category 1 hazards, excess cold being one which is particularly focused on and is the result of lack of heating and insulation. West Devon Borough Council and South Hams District Council will take advantage of this new Flexible Eligibility scheme so that as many residents can benefit as possible, and so that those who don’t qualify through existing schemes but are in fuel poverty can obtain financial help to install key energy measures. -

Post-Consultation Report
Your Future Care Post-consultation Report 23 February 2017 1 Executive Summary In October 2016, NHS Northern, Eastern and Western Devon Clinical Commissioning Group (NHS NEW Devon CCG) launched a public consultation on the reduction of community hospital beds in Eastern Devon, accompanied by the development of a model of care throughout Northern, Eastern and Western Devon designed to shift the focus of services to integrated local care in people’s own homes. The ‘Your Future Care’ consultation ran for 13 weeks from 7 October 2016 until 6 January 2017, seeking views of people throughout the area on the proposed change to the model of care, and in particular the options for the remaining 72 inpatient beds in community hospitals in Eastern Devon. The overall aim for the consultation was to understand: How the model can improve care for people Where inpatient beds should be located Which services should be prioritised when resources are limited Throughout the consultation period there were: 16 public consultation events, 27 community roadshows and 18 pop-ins, designed to both give information and hear people’s views. The CCG also attended 15 other council and community meetings. In total more than 2000 people attended these events and discussed the proposals. Local Healthwatch (Devon) in its role as independent consumer champion for health and social care attended the majority of these events, to observe the process and directly listen to what participants had to say. The consultation documents were published on the Your Future Care web pages with 10,700 hits. More than 14,000 hard copy consultation documents and 55,000 summary consultation documents were distributed during the consultation period.
