Decision details
Consolidation of existing cleaning contracts
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To consider the report of the Cabinet Member for Customer Service and Transformation outlining a proposed approach to consolidate existing cleaning contracts across the Council. This is in order to standardise approach, reduce the time spent dealing with cleaning contract management.
Decision:
(i) To agree the approach of centralising the cleaning contracts and
budgets and for a single managed cleaning contract for all in scope
council buildings.
Reasons for the decision:
There is an inconsistent approach to the delivery of cleaning activities in
council buildings, both in terms of companies involved but also level of
cleaning.
Centralisation of budgets and a single point of management of the new
consolidated contract will create an opportunity for efficiencies and will enable
service areas to focus on their core business.
Alternative options considered:
Do nothing leave as is with non-compliant spend.
Re-procure on an individual contract basis leaving management of that
process and the resulting contracts with service areas.
Develop in-house cleaning services
