Background:

 

The report provided the Cabinet with a detailed assessment on a range of options for the future delivery of the Council’s pest control service. Further to this the report recommended transferring the pest control service to the Council’s joint venture company Medway Norse as the preferred option.

 

In addition to this, the report included a Business Case for the future delivery of the pest control service and a Diversity Impact Assessment as set out in Appendices 1 and 2 to the report.

 

Decision Number:

Decision:

152/2016

The Cabinet agreed to transfer the pest control service to its joint venture company, Medway Norse.

The Cabinet noted this would be subject to staff consultation on the TUPE transfer.

 

Reasons:

 

Transferring the pest control service to Medway Norse provides a way of delivering a cost neutral service for the Council, whilst keeping prices below market rates. It gives the opportunity for trading the service to generate further income for the Council.
