RESOLVED:
That the Cabinet:
1) Approve the extension of the contract with the current contractor J McCann & Co Limited for the provision of Street Lighting Works Term Services to the London Borough of Hillingdon for a two-year period from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2026 at the estimated cost of c.£2,470k.
2) Authorises the grant of a further two-year lease extension to J McCann & Co Limited for a workshop at Harlington Road Depot. This lease will be outside the security of tenure provisions and will enable the Council to terminate concurrently with the commercial contract as detailed in this report and instructs Legal Services to complete the appropriate lease documentation.
Reasons for decision
Cabinet agreed a two-year term extension of the current contract for the provision of Street Lighting Services along with a lease at the Harlington Road Depot for their operations. The Cabinet Member for Property, Highways and Transport noted this would be predominately a reactive service, as the Council had invested in new more sustainable LED lights and columns over the last few years.
Cabinet wished for it to be recorded that when procurement decisions regarding this matter returned to Cabinet, that it would expect a full tender exercise to be presented.
Alternative options considered and rejected
Cabinet considered alternative options as set out in the confidential report.
