CONTINUATION OF CCTV MONITORING CONTRACT FOR A FURTHER ONE YEAR
The above contract is due to expire on the 31
March 2020 (this was a 3 + 3 year contract).
The CCTV service is currently funded through financial
contributions from Herefordshire Council, Police and Crime
Commissioner West Mercia, Hereford City Council, Hereford
Cathedral, Ledbury Town Council, Leominster Town Council,
Ross-on-Wye Town Council and Hereford BID.
On 24 February 2020 the PCC has pledged a grant extension for 1
year to cover costs up to 31 March 2021. It was hoped that with the
PCC elections in May 2020 taking place the appointed PCC would be
able to commit to further grant terms post 31 March 2021. Due to
all elections being postponed to 2021 including the PCC elections
an exemption from contract procedure rules is therefore requested
to enable the contract to be extended for one year (up until 31st
March 2021), whilst a procurement process is undertaken in the
Summer of 2020 to put in place a new contract from April
2021.
Whilst this process takes place, we will be investigating
alternative sources of funding to help ensure future delivery of
the service.
