Received a report from the Corporate Director of Regeneration concerning re-tendering of the contract for cleaning and janitorial supplies which expires on 31 May 2009. The proposals are for a consortium arrangement led by Barking and Dagenham, let on behalf of the London Contracts and Supplies Group (LCSG), and for a four year term contract with no option to extend.

Agreed, in order to assist the Council to achieve all of its Community Priorities; to:

(i)  grant authority to seek tenders for a new framework agreement for the supply of cleaning and janitorial supplies over a four year term as outlined in the report; and

(ii)  the decision on the award of the contract being made by the Executive.
