Agreement to enter into a collaboration agreement, with the project partners. The collaboration agreement is the set of terms that the partners will agree to abide by whilst working together on the ESO project. It is also a requirement for Oxford City Council to access up to £1.6million grant funding from Innovate for the project. The city council is using this grant funding to support the Hackney Carriage trade with their move to Ultra Low Emissions Vehicles (ULEV), purchase of Council fleet electric vehicles, project management staff costs & consultancy costs for evaluating the success of the project.

The decision was made by the Transition Director in consultation with Head of Finance and the Legal Services Manager.
