Decision details

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.

(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.

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.

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
