Issue - meetings

ES20142

Members attention was drawn to the market stall contract which had been considered at the previous meeting when it was rag rated as amber and due for renewal. A tender exercise had been undertaken for competitive bids but the tender exercise was unsuccessful. Resultantly, a direct award had been made to the incumbent provider.

A discussion took place concerning the ‘Fix My Street’ contract which was showing as amber on the contracts database snapshot that had been presented to the Committee.

It was noted that the Contracts Database snapshot had been taken on the 21st October and that if the snapshot had been taken on the day of the meeting for example, then the ‘Fix My Street’ contract would in fact be rated as red.  A Member requested that a way be found to provide more up to date Contract Database information to the ECS PDS Committee, rather than data which was in fact out of date.

RESOLVED that the Contracts Database report be noted and that going forward a way be found to provide more current contract data to the Committee, rather than data that was out of date. 

Post Meeting Note from the Assistant Director for Performance Management and Business Support:

This methodology will not be amended, but in future meetings there will be a Part 2 report which will have a commentary from the Assistant Director for Procurement and Commissioning to better explain any contracts that are coming up for renewal.
