(Report of the Director of Place and Sustainability to be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Finance and Carbon Reduction) To seek agreement from Cabinet to confirm its earlier decision to proceed with the outsourcing of the service and to approve the award of the proposed framework agreement and call-off contract for cleaning services.  

Cabinet considered a report that sought confirmation of an earlier decision regarding the externalised procurement of cleaning services, which had been agreed in principal as part of the Council’s budget for 2011/12.

Further discussion regarding exempt information, set out under Item 26 of the agenda, was discussed in closed session.

RESOLVED:

1. That the externalised procurement of cleaning services, as agreed in principal as part of the 2011/12 budget, be confirmed.

2. That approval be given, under Contract Standing Order 9.07.1 (d), to award the Cleaning Services framework agreement to the supplier (identified in the exempt Appendix A of the report at paragraph 8.2) for a period of four years and award a call off contract under the framework cleaning services to the same supplier for a period of four years.

3. That the approach, set out in exempt Appendix B of the report, be adopted in respect of employer contributions for those employees that would be the subject of a TUPE transfer as a result of the award of the framework agreement and who are active members of the London Borough of Haringey Pension Scheme.
