RESOLVED:
That Cabinet:
1) Accept the tender from J McCann & Co Limited for the provision of a Street Lighting Term Service Contract for installation, maintenance and test works on behalf of the London Borough of Hillingdon for a Seven Year period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2033 at an estimated cost of up to £12.25m excluding annual uplifts based on inflation.
2) Furthermore, agrees that this includes the provision to extend the contract for a further Five Years at an estimated cost of up to £8.75m (£1.75m per year, excluding annual inflationary uplifts), delegating approval to the Corporate Director of Residents Services, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Planning, Housing & Growth, subject to contractor performance and commercial terms.
3) Authorises the grant of a seven years plus five years lease to J McCann & Co Limited for a workshop at Harlington Road Depot, noting that 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 decisions
The Cabinet Member for Planning, Housing and Growth introduced a report and recommendations, that Cabinet agreed, to award a new Street Lighting contract following a competitive procurement process along with the necessary lease to operate from the Harlington Road Depot.
Alternative options considered and rejected
Cabinet could have considered a multiple contract option or to bring the service in-house but discounted these options for the reasons set out in the confidential report.
