Minutes:
Consideration was given to report of the Service Manager Public Protection.
The Service Manager Public Protection presented the report which provided an update on the pest control treatment service currently provided by Rentokil. The Officer went through the report and highlighted points contained therein.
A Member asked whether local companies had been considered for the contract.
In response the Officer confirmed that the Council’s procurement framework was applied. He said a national company also had resilience within the workforce that a smaller local company may not have.
A discussion ensued when the Officer clarified points raised by Member.
A Member proposed Option 2 with the recommendation to the Executive that at the end of the contract (31st March, 2023) a local procurement exercise be undertaken for the service.
The proposal was seconded.
Another Member proposed Option 1 and this was seconded.
Upon a vote being taken
The Committee AGREED to recommend that the report be accepted and Members note the service performance and continuation of the contract with Rentokil until 31st March 2023 when it would be reviewed and retendered, as necessary, in accordance with Corporate Procurement rules. (Option 1)
