Report No. 130/2020

(Key Decision)

Cabinet approved the one-year extension to the Highway Term Maintenance Contract for Contract Year 10, (November 2022 to December 2023), of the potential 10 year contract, in accordance with the contract extension criteria as set out in the Highway Term Maintenance Contract.

Having declared an interest, Councillor Walters retreated from the meeting.

Councillor Stephenson, as the relevant Cabinet Member, elaborated on her report and explained that the criteria set out in the Highway Term Maintenance Contract based upon the Contactor performance for 2019/20 had been fully satisfied. It was therefore recommended that the Highways Term Maintenance Contract be extended from 1 December 2022 to 30 November 2023. It was noted that since the start of the contract in December 2013, savings in excess of £2.4 million had been identified and delivered via this Contract.

In response to questions asked, Councillor Stephenson stated that some of the KPI’s included in appendix 1 had been based on the previous years performance as KPI’s were not measured until the end of the financial year.

RESOLVED:

That the one-year extension to the Highway Term Maintenance Contract for Contract Year 10, (November 2022 to December 2023), of the potential 10 year contract, in accordance with the contract extension criteria as set out in the Highway Term Maintenance Contract be approved.

Councillor Walters rejoined the meeting.
