Minutes:
The Leader of the Council presented a report on the proposed procurement of translating and interpreting services.
The Leader advised that the current arrangements for the service, arranged via the East London Solutions partnership, were due to expire in March 2015 and the intention was for the Council to procure its own contract.
Cabinet resolved to:
(i) Agree that the Council proceeds with procurement of a three year contract, with an option to extend for up to two years, for translating and interpreting services in accordance with the strategy set out in the report; and
(ii) Authorise the Corporate Director of Adult and Community Services and the Head of Strategy and Communications, in consultation with the Leader, the Chief Finance Officer and the Head of Legal and Democratic Services, to conduct the procurement and award the contract to the successful bidder in accordance with the strategy.
