Decision details

(Report of Director of Finance and Transformation)

The report advised that the Council’s existing contracts for the provision of cash collection and insurance arrangements were due to expire in January and June 2017 respectively.  It was noted that the cash collection contract was a county wide procurement exercise led by Maidstone Borough Council.  However, details were given of the appointment of a broker in accordance with the Financial Procedure Rules to assist with the administration of the insurance tender process and identify where savings might be achieved.

Following consideration by the Finance, Innovation and Property Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Finance, Innovation and Property resolved that:

The current situation regarding renewal of the cash collection contract be noted and the appointment of a broker to administer renewal of the Council’s insurance arrangements be endorsed.
