Minutes:

The purpose of the report was to agree the contract award for cleaning and maintenance of public conveniences.

 

The Leader introduced the report in the absence of the Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Finance. The following points were made:

 

  • The contract for cleaning and maintenance was vital to maintain hygiene standards with the Council’s 15 public toilet sites across the District.
  • The contract with Danfo Ltd was expiring on 30 September 2024 and a replacement contract needed to be agreed before then.
  • A comprehensive procurement process through an open tender method which assessed quality of service and cost resulted in the recommendation for Danfo Ltd as the service provider for 4 years from 1 October 2024.
  • The new contract would be assisted by economies of scale through the partnership with West Oxfordshire District Council.
  • The contract would provide a good service for residents and stability for delivery of high cleaning standards.
  • The contract value was more compared to the budgeted amount which would need to be adjusted through the revenue budget, through reviewing fees and charges or service standard reductions.

 

Councillor Spivey seconded and noted the good service provided Danfo Ltd in the previous years which the Council wished to maintain for residents and visitors to the District.

 

The recommendations were proposed by Councillor Joe Harris and seconded by Councillor Lisa Spivey.

 

RESOLVED: That Cabinet

  1. APPROVED the recommendation by officers to award the contract for the cleaning and maintenance of public convenience to the preferred contractor as outlined in the Exempt Annex B.
