The COVID 19 sub group will consider and take decisions on any business critical issues which require review as a result of the impacts of COVID 19 where it is not possible to obtain a decision from the Enterprise M3 Board and/or Programme Management Group. They will also act as a ‘sounding board’ where ideas might be ‘tested’ and discussed ahead of a full meeting of Enterprise M3 Board Directors.  In carrying out these functions, it is proposed that the COVID 19 sub group will undertake the following roles:

  • Provide recommendations and advice to the Enterprise M3 Board on Enterprise M3’s COVID 19 response;
  • Approve expenditure relating to Enterprise M3’s COVID 19 response up to a maximum of £1.5m.
  • Provide recommendations and advice to Enterprise M3’s other committees – including Nominations Committee, Resources Finance and Audit Committee, Programme Management Group, Local Industrial Strategy Group and Joint Leaders Board. 
  • Ensure that the way in which the COVID 19 sub group operates meets the requirements set out in the Enterprise M3 Assurance Framework and the National Assurance Framework.
  • Regularly review its operation to ensure that it remains fit for purpose; and
  • Carry out any other relevant functions as required and agreed by the Enterprise M3 Board.

The COVID-19 Sub-Group comprises of the following representatives: 

  • 1 x Enterprise M3 Chair (to act as Chair of COVID-19 Sub-Group) 
  • 1 x Chair of Resources, Finance and Audit Committee
  • 1 x Chair of Nominations Committee
  • 1 x Chair of Programme Management Group 
  • 1 x Chair of Joint Leaders Board
  • 1 x Accountable Body Representative
  • 1 x Enterprise M3 lead Board Director on Communications 
  • 1 x Enterprise M3 Lead Board Director on Local Industrial Strategy
  • 1 x Chief Executive

 

Enterprise M3 are committed to publishing on its website a public notice of Programme Management Group and Board meetings and any sub-committee which involves decisions about public money, at least five clear working days before any meeting. Copies of the Agenda and any papers (save for confidential and exempt items) to be considered at a meeting of the Programme Management Group or Board will be open for inspection by the public at least five clear working days before any meeting, unless a matter is to be considered as a matter of urgency, in which case the item will be available for inspection as soon as it is added to the Agenda for the meeting. The same procedure applies if a meeting is held by teleconference between meetings to take urgent business

The next COVID-19 Sub-Group meeting is being held on 13 May 2020.

COVID-19 Sub-Group  meeting papers can be found in the related content section to the right of this page.  

Enterprise M3 seeks to place as much information as possible in the public domain, however due to the nature of the work there may be some papers which are not suitable for publication. The Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012 and Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 as amended will be used to determine whether documents should be exempt or classified. Our Confidential Items Policy gives further details of this process.
