Decision details

RESOLVED

i)               To approve the award of a cash collections contract to the winning bidder following the conclusion of the procurement exercise;

ii)              To delegate authority to the Director of Resources in consultation with the Head of Legal and Democratic Services to finalise the terms and conditions of the required contract, details of which are in the Appendix.

REASON

The council is acting as lead authority on behalf of the four councils comprising of the Shared Procurement Service. Consequently, this requires Cabinet approval for the whole four councils’ spend as it falls above the threshold for Cabinet Member approval.

The four councils’ contracts for cash collection expire on 31 October 2024, and in order to get the new supplier in place before the expiry, the evaluations need to take place at the same time as the governance process.
