Agenda item

The item was introduced by the Area Council Manager, who provided the Area Council with a detailed specification in relation to the ‘Improving the Environment’ specification, drawing particular attention to the service activities to be delivered.  The existing annual contract is valued at £75,000 per annum but it was felt that this should be increased to £85,000 to develop the community development function.

RESOLVED:-

(i)            that the Area Council approves the specification to enable procurement to take place during June and July to ensure seamless service delivery, with a greater emphasis placed upon community participation and social responsibility;

(ii)          and that the contract should  be let for 2 years with a 1 year extension at a contract value of £255,000 over three years.
