A critical Subsidy Advice Unit report has been published today, which underlines how important it is that public authorities take the CMA referral process seriously and prepare properly. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority referred a £11.6m subsidy to the CMA in November 2023, which it was proposed would be awarded to Capital and Centric (505) Limited to develop the former Cannon Brewery site in Sheffield’s Neepsend area. Today’s report says the assessment could be “significantly improved”, criticising “brief” evidence and the failure to engage in “pre-referral discussions before referring the subsidy, as encouraged by the SAU guidance”.    The Combined Authority can now use the findings of the report to update and improve its assessment. However, when a similarly critical SAU report was issued to Warrington Borough Council in June 2023 in respect of a proposal to subsidise Warrington Livewire’s leisure services, it led to the proposal being cancelled, with the Council decision stating that “given the report identifies significant areas of potential improvement which an interested party could form their challenge around, there is deemed to be a risk of a successful challenge, should one be brought”. Therefore, the lesson for public authorities is clear - engage with the referral process early on and building up a credible case against the requirements set out in the Subsidy Control Act 2022, secondary legislation and related guidance. By doing so, the CMA report can be used to fine tune your Subsidy Control assessment, thereby reducing the risk of a successful challenge by a competitor of the recipient of the subsidy.

“I’m trying to produce things which make the accountability acceptable.” As part of the raft of reforms announced by Ofsted today after its Big Listen consultation, I sat down with Sir Martyn Oliver, the chief inspector, to talk through the changes, why he thinks they're what the sector needs, what should be included in new report card inspections, and why ensuring all inspection calls on a Monday will be a big deal. #ofsted #schools #inspection #safeguarding https://lnkd.in/e2ATVWWB

Liberal Democrats continue to pledge water structural reform in manifesto The Liberal Democrats have published their manifesto ahead of the General Election. Many of the key pledges remain from the policy document they published in March. They continue to promise that they will effect structural change in the water sector, changing ownership and replacing Ofwat. "We will end the sewage scandal by transforming water companies into public benefit companies, banning bonuses for water bosses until discharges and leaks end, and replacing Ofwat with a tough new regulator with new powers to prevent sewage dumps." In addition, we will..."make water companies work for people by introducing a Sewage Tax on water company profits; and introduce a single social tariff for water bills to help eliminate water poverty within the next Parliament." https://lnkd.in/eVTDQh28 Global Water Intelligence (GWI) Ofwat

Did you know that the NASC has dropped the joining criteria of having a minimum 75% PAYE? This means if you run a business and use subbies as your labour force you can still apply. You must have been trading for at least two years have a current SSIP accreditation also have CISRS-carded scaffolders. Which in general most companies can easily achieve. The process can be done within a timescale of four weeks instead of the old three to six months period. The new CEO is taking the direction of the NASC where it should have gone years ago. They are still the only scaffold association/confederation that produces industry guidance so what are you waiting for? We can assist anyone wishing to progress.
