Decision:
As detailed in the recommendation with the inclusion of the following recommendations:
(2) That regular reports be brought back to Cabinet over the life of the contract to keep Cabinet informed with the frequency to be decided.
Minutes:
Councillor Attridge introduced the report on phase 3 of the Council’s vehicle fleet provision and management review. The report provided details of the outcome of the tender exercise that had been undertaken to source a partner organisation to provide and manage the County’s fleet of vehicles.
The Chief Officer (Streetscene and Transportation) outlined the financial and service benefits of the tender submission, full details of which were contained in the report, emphasising the request of the workforce to remain in the employment of the Council with them carrying out the maintenance activities on behalf of the contractor. He added that the contract price included all of the costs associated with bringing Flintshire County Council’s fleet to Euro 6 standard.
Councillor Attridge asked that an additional recommendation be added “That regular reports be brought back to Cabinet over the life of the contract to keep Cabinet informed, with the frequency to be decided” which was agreed.
The Chief Executive thanked all of those involved for their work on this review which Flintshire was a leading performer in this field.
Councillor Kevin Jones said bringing the fleet to Euro 6 standard was an excellent example of obtaining value for money for the authority.
RESOLVED:
(a) That the implementation of Phase 3 of the Fleet Review and the award of a 7 year contract with a single external supplier for the supply, management and maintenance of all the Council’s fleet, whilst retaining the in-house workshop staff who will carry out the maintenance activities on behalf of the contractor be approved; and
(b) That regular reports be brought back to Cabinet over the lift of the contract to keep Cabinet informed, with the frequency to be decided.
