Procurement Update

Minutes:

The Area Council Manager provided Members with a financial position and forecast for expenditure, including updates regarding the procurement of the Summer Holiday Internship 2016 and the Environmental Enforcement project post March 2016.  To recommission both of the projects a full procurement process is necessary.  At the time of writing a preferred provider has been identified for the Summer Holiday Internship.  Kingdom Security Services are the successful providers for the Environmental Enforcement project.  Contractual documents are to be finalised for both services.  Concerns were expressed that performance information had not been received, as it had fallen between meetings. Questions were also asked about parking enforcement,  connectivity problems and deployment of officers in pairs.
