Issue - meetings

The Committee had before it a report by the Head of Finance which sought approval to undertake a joint procurement exercise with Aberdeenshire Council for the provision of cash in transit services over a maximum five year term.

The report recommended:-

that the Committee –

(a)       instruct officers to undertake a fully compliant EU tender exercise in collaboration with Aberdeenshire Council; and

(b)       approve a contract duration of up to 5 years with either an initial term of 3 years with the option to extend for up to a further 24 months or an initial term of 2 years with the option to extend for up to a further 36 months and a total estimated spend under the Aberdeen City Council contract as outlined within the report.

The Committee resolved:-

(i)        to approve the recommendations;

(ii)       to request that officers circulate details to members in relation to whether it would be economically viable to equip sheltered accommodation blocks with laundry card machines, given the small number of residents topping up their cards in a given period; and

(iii)      to request that officers also circulate the missing percentage figure and financial details in section 4.5 of the report.
