RESOLVED - That:
The Council intends to consider its option with
regard to the future delivery of the cleaning
services and determine the merits of bringing the
cleaning service in-house, which will have both
practical and TUPE considerations, to
conducting a procurement exercise.
The review process is now underway starting
with an analysis of the current cleaning
arrangements, but it will not be possible to
complete the process by 1 April 2023; a further 3
months is needed to formalise any future
arrangements.
To support an uninterrupted transfer of the
service in-house or following a procurement
process, and as a consequence of the limited
transfer timeframe, there is a need to continue
with existing arrangements.
