(1)        The Decision Taken

RESOLVED:

That a one year extension to the corporate cleaning contract with Birkin Cleaning Services Ltd (until 31 December 2021) be approved.

(2)        Reasons for the Decision

The contract with Birkin Cleaning Services Limited which would expire at the end of 2020 covered cleaning of the Council’s corporate property with an option to extend for up to a further two years. The contract value was £300,000 per annum.

As the contract was currently performing satisfactorily, the General Procurement Board at its meeting on 23 January 2020, unanimously recommended to the Cabinet to extend the contract for one further year until 31 December 2021.
