Building maintenance, small works and cleaning services - Service Continuity Plan

Approval is being sought to enter into a new arrangement for the current Building Maintenance, Small Works and Cleaning contract which is due to cease on 31 March 2021. A procurement process for these services was undertaken but interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The procurement exercise was relaunched in the autumn of 2020 that has now concluded and been unsuccessful. This therefore presents a risk in respect of service continuity.

 

A review of available options has been undertaken so that an urgent decision can be taken to mitigate the risk and ensure continuity of service.
