Scrutiny Considerations

The Committee received a report from the Commercial Operations Manager, Environment which referred to the expiration on March 31 2018, of the current contract for static and mobile guarding of City Centre car parks and Mill Road.

The Commercial Operations Manager said the following in response to Members’ questions:

i.      Confirmed that TUPEE would apply to the contract. There would a clear reference made in the specification of the Council’s expectations that TUPPE arrangements were managed in accordance with Council policy.

     i.        Would bring in additional services to other assets of the Council and would be considering the end dates of those contracts.

    ii.        It was expected there would be savings to the Council due to the new corporate wide contract which would go out to tender.  It was not possible to say what that saving would be until the tender process had been completed.

The Committee resolved (unanimously) to endorse the recommendations.

The Executive Councillor approved the recommendation.
