DATE: DIVISION/WAR 1. PURPOS 1.1 to Obtain Provision 2. RECOM 2.1 to Impl Monmou 3. KEY Item No. 2 SUBJECT: MCC/GPA – PROPERTY & FM SERVICE COLLABORATION MEETING: INDIVIDUAL CABINET MEMBER DECISION (Cllr Phil Murphy) DATE: 12TH MARCH 2014 DIVISION/WARDS AFFECTED: ALL 1. PURPOSE: 1.1 To obtain approval for Monmouthshire County Council to establish a collaborative alliance with Gwent Police Authority for the provision of Property and Facility Management Services. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS: 2.1 To implement a collaborative service agreement for the provision of Property Services & Facilities Management across Monmouthshire County Council and Gwent Police that delivers economic, efficient and effective outcomes for both parties. 3. KEY ISSUES: 3.1 Since 1996 MCC has provided technical property services for Gwent Police via a Service Level Agreement and developed a substantial amount of knowledge of the Police estate. For the past two years both organisations have piloted a collaborative arrangement and thereby aligned and streamlined their processes to improve efficiency and achieve value for money for both organisations. Examples of this include: 1 A Framework Contract between Gwent Police, MCC and Torfaen County Borough Council. This is a joint contract to use the combined purchasing power of the three organisations to reduce the costs of Estate works. For Premises Management and Maintenance, Electrical Testing and Inspections, Grounds Maintenance, Asbestos Management and Legionnaire’s Disease Management both organisations share management policies and processes. Joint site working at Police Headquarters and co-ordination of work programmes to achieve best use of professional skills. A joint Estate and Facilities Service helpdesk. All calls for Gwent Police estate related issues are now received and processed by MCC. Payments to contractors on behalf of Gwent Police are made by MCC under an approved process agreed between the two organisations’ respective Finance Departments. 3.2 An element of the property and FM service covers cyclical inspections, testing and certification of premises so that they comply with all the legislation for safe working in premises. This work cannot be left unattended and must be managed by experienced and trained individuals. 3.3 The aforementioned experiences have led to a realisation by both organisations that the existing traditional method of working could be improved and that the overall provision of Property and Facility Management services can be made more efficient and resilient via a collaborative approach. 4. REASONS: 4.1 There are numerous benefits to establishing this agreement and working in a collaborative way including resilience, streamlined processes, greater purchasing power, improved knowledge retention and career development. 4.2 A Summary of the benefits of establishing a collaboration between Gwent Police and MCC are detailed in the table below. 2 Category Description User Experience Shared Help Desk facility, with streamlined processes which also provides greater resilience. Single Point of contact for all internal and external customers. Staff Streamlined tasking process within both MCC and Gwent Police. More efficient allocation of appropriately skilled staff; promoting greater staff and customer satisfaction. Greater opportunities for staff to develop skills and experience enabling a greater range of projects to be undertaken. Develop the knowledge and skills of the staff involved with the joint estate. Reduction in duplication of processes resulting in improved value of service delivery Business Continuity Guarantee of future work and income generation. Ability to provide technical services on major works investment providing additional fee income. Seamless transition from contract model to collaborative model saving the time and cost of transition arrangements. Resilience is developed for both organisations so that demands caused by staff absence and unplanned works can be met without the need to use external resources or reduce the quality of services offered. Legislative Compliance Maintain the knowledge and skills of the staff involved with the joint estate, including knowledge of legislation on public sector buildings. Health & Safety Service delivered across both organisations by joint team, creating consistency and economies of scale. Opportunities to cover more of the joint estate with compliance and monitoring officers Information Shared asset management information and project data to avoid duplication and information clashes. Shared Project Data to enable learning and best practice of projects. Systems Single Estate Management System for statutory and reporting requirements. Management Streamlined management process within both MCC and Gwent Police. More efficient allocation of staff resources. Procurement Elimination of time spent completing pre-qualification questionnaires and tender submissions. Reduction in time and cost spent on developing OJEU tender documents. Greater purchasing power is available. Staff time spent on market testing and procuring the services that can be delivered by a collaborative venture. Electronic Order and payment processes reducing the cost of transactions. 3 Finance Streamlined payment to contractors enabling improved payment times. Improved payment periods for contractors benefiting SMEs cash flows. Reduced time spent invoicing for services provided against current service level agreement. Value for Money The establishment of a collaborative model that other public sector organisations can join or replicate, potentially reducing the contributions required by existing members of the collaboration. Exemplar Provision Demonstration of MCC and Gwent Police commitment to collaboration as highly recommended by Welsh Government and Constructing Excellence Wales 4.3 The collaboration will change processes that create separation and replace them with one streamlined process supported by single procedures that comply with Standing Orders and other Corporate Governance requirements. This can be achieved as the two organisations have the same goals and objectives to deliver appropriate facilities and estate services. 5. RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS: 5.1 The collaboration will be governed by a board with representatives from both Gwent and MCC. The board will oversee the governance and financial aspects of the collaboration. 5.2 The services provided by the collaborative model are under the day to day management of staff from MCC. 5.3 Operational delivery will be from a combination of MCC and Gwent Police resources. 5.4 Set-up and implementation of the collaboration will be done using existing resources from MCC and Gwent Police. 5.5 There will not be any financial implications of implementing this collaboration 6.

  • Is a Small Rural Community in the East of the City of Newport, South Wales
    Bishton (originally Bishopston Welsh: Llangadwaladr Trefesgob or simply Trefesgob) is a small rural community in the east of the City of Newport, south Wales. The parish lies in the Llanwern electoral district (ward) and contains the eastern end of Llanwern Steelworks, the Underwood estate as well as Bishton itself. The total population of the community is estimated at about 2000. The present village church of Bishton is more than 600 years old. Its full name – the Church of St Cadwaladr – demonstrates far older origins during the era following the collapse of Roman rule in Britain after 410 AD. Cadwaladr Fendigaid – “Cadwaladr the Blessed” – was the last of the Welsh Kings to claim the title of chief Sovereign of Britain. He died combating pagan Saxon invaders, and the name of the church probably commemorates his exploits. The name of Bishton itself is short for “Bishop’s Town”. Here the most powerful early Christian leaders in South Wales - the Bishops of Llandaff - set up their palace headquarters. Earthworks near Castle Farm in Bishton mark the site, which is also known as “Llangadwaladr Castle”. The original wooden church was rebuilt in stone after the Norman occupation. The church we see today has many features typical of 14-15th century ecclesiastical architecture in the early English and Perpendicular styles. The single church bell dates from 1663, installed as a thanksgiving for the Restoration of the Monarchy and the Anglican Church after the Cromwellian period. Much of the church was restored in 1887 when the porch was added. At about the same time a Rectory was built in Bishton (now privately owned).

  • Monmouthshire (VC35) Rare Plant Register
    Monmouthshire (VC35) Rare Plant Register April 2019 Steph Tyler Elsa Wood Monmouthshire County Rare Plant Register Stephanie J. Tyler Elsa Wood Text editing Barbara Brown April 2019 Cover: Orobanche minor – Common Broomrape or Gorfanhadlen. Image: Elsa Wood Monmouthshire Rare Plant Register 2019 MONMOUTHSHIRE VICE-COUNTY 35 RARE PLANT REGISTER This edition updates the first Rare Plant Register produced by Trevor Evans (Evans 2007). Some additional species have been included whereas others have been removed. The reasons for these changes are given below. Rare and Scarce species In the RPR by Evans (2007) there are several species which have since been found to be more widespread in vc35 than previously thought. These, Ranunculus lingua Greater Spearwort ( widely planted), Iris foetidissima Stinking Iris, Echium vulgare Viper’s Bugloss, Chrysosplenium alternifolium Alternate-leaved Golden Saxifrage, Crepis biennis Rough Hawk’s-beard, Myriophyllum spicatum Spiked Water-milfoil , Samolus valerandi Brookweed, Frangula alnus Alder Buckthorn, Poa angustifolia Narrow-leaved Meadow-grass, Puccinellia distans Reflexed Saltmarsh Grass and Populus nigra ssp.betulifolia Black Poplar are no longer included in this revised RPR as occur at more than 10 sites. Moreover, Anacamptis pryamidalis Pyramidal Orchid occurs at almost 40 sites. The revised RPR recognises locally rare species, both Natives and Archaeophyes, as those that are found in up to three sites in VC35 and locally scarce species which occur in up to 10 sites. Several have been moved from locally rare to locally scarce e.g. Anthemis cotula. Species such as Littorella uniflora Shoreweed with 11 records are therefore not included. Some other species, whilst being recorded at more than 10 sites, are considered under threat in a GB or Welsh context and therefore these have been included in this Register.
