Common use of Key Decisions Clause in Contracts

Key Decisions. Whilst this agreement places accountabilities on the Trust for the delivery and development of ASC Services, the Trust may not act unilaterally to make or enact decisions if they meet the criteria of a ‘key decision’ as described in the standing orders of the Council or are included in a list of ‘Reserved Items’ shared between the parties as part of the agreement. This requirement reiterates section 22.3 of the Partnership Agreement under which services were originally transferred from the Council to Torbay Care Trust. Key decisions must be made by the Council in accordance with its constitution. In Schedule 8 of the Partnership Agreement a key decision is defined as a decision in relation to the exercise of council functions, which is likely to:  Result in incurring additional expenditure or making of savings which are more than £250,000;  Result in an existing service being reduced by more than 10% or may cease altogether;  Affect a service which is currently provided in-house which may be outsourced or vice versa and other criteria stated within schedule 8 of the Partnership Agreement. In addition when determining what constitutes a key decision consideration should be given to the possible level of public interest in the decision. The higher the level of interest the more appropriate it is that the decision should be considered to be a ‘key decision’.
