Street Lighting Contract Renewal

10/05/2017 - Street Lighting Contract

1.    This report seeks the Cabinet’s approval to join the RBKC framework contract (5 years +1+1+1 Total 8 years) following a limited 6 months’ extension to the current term maintenance contract. The extension requirement is due to the later than anticipated award of the RBKC framework contract. LBHF joining RBKC framework will improve efficiencies for LBHF by align both borough’s street lighting service teams. There are no requirements for LBHF works undertaken by the framework contractor needing approval by RBKC.

 

2.    To note that having undertaken a cost evaluation of the new RBKC framework contract, against the current extended street lighting term contract, further analysis of City of Westminster’s framework contract and limited comparison to the Lohac framework contract where comparable prices exist, the new RBKC framework results in marginal savings of £13,000 in comparison with the current contract. Four options and outcomes are outlined in this report.
