Background:

This report sought approval to commence the procurement of Street Scene Enforcement Agent Services for littering, dog fouling and dog control orders, following review and discussion at Procurement Board on 3 October 2018.

An appraisal of the procurement options was set at section 4.2 of the report. Based on this appraisal it was recommended that the Council adopt an open market tender opportunity which includes an e-Auction as the pricing mechanism.

The report noted that the Procurement Board, at its meeting on 3 October 2018, decided that the decision to outsource this contract should be classified as high risk and therefore this was a matter for the Cabinet. Subject to Cabinet approval to outsource, the remainder of the procurement process would be undertaken in accordance with the Council’s Contract Procedure Rules for medium risk procurements.

An Exempt Appendix provided details of the financial analysis in respect of procurement of this service.

Reasons:

Outsourcing this service will result in a financial income to Medway Council and promote cleaner streets for residents.
