·  Land off Whitestone Road, Bodmin, PL31 1PY

1. That the methodology for grant thresholds, as outlined in Exempt Appendix 3 to the report, for each of the sites set out within the report and included within Exempt Appendix 2 to the report, be approved.
2. That the publication of the call-offs from the Extra Care Development Framework to select the preferred bidder(s) to develop the sites set out above be approved.
3. That authority be delegated to the Strategic Director for Safe and Caring Communities, in consultation with the Leader, Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Health Partnerships and the Section 151 Officer and Monitoring Officer, to award and enter into the call-off contracts (which will include the transfer of the site) with the successful bidder(s).
4. That authority be delegated to the Strategic Director for Safe and Caring Communities, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Health Partnerships and the Section 151 Officer and Monitoring Officer, to offer grant funding within the thresholds agreed if providers can demonstrate that a viability gap exists.  If the grant thresholds are outside of the methodology outlined in Exempt Appendix 3 to the report, then the decision will revert to Cabinet or the Leader of the Council.
5.

6. That authority be delegated to the Strategic Director for Safe and Caring Communities, in consultation with the Head of Property and Strategic Assets, to use the Targeted Disposal Route as described in Appendix 5 to the report, for the sites in Appendices 1 and 2 to the report where there is no sufficient interest from providers on the Extra Care Development Framework, provided that any disposal secures the Council’s required extra care outcomes through appropriate legal safeguards, including use restrictions, delivery milestones, clawback or overage provisions where appropriate, and arrangements for access to accommodation and future care commissioning.
