Gedling Borough Council provides grounds
maintenance services to Calverton Parish Council at various sites
listed in Schedule 2 the Bill of Quantities. The Council’s
Parks and Street Care Service has been providing this service since
the 1990’s on a contractual basis. This service is provided
under the section 1(1)(d) of the Local Authorities (Goods and
Services) Act 1970 which enables Local Authorities to provide and
charge public bodies (including Parish Councils) for such
services.
The existing Calverton Parish Council contract is due to expire on
31st March 2018. he services to be provided under the contract
include grass cutting; sports pitch preparation; maintenance of
children’s playgrounds; grave digging and associated works,
together with general horticultural and arboricultural work.
.
Approval is given to enter into a contract
with Calverton Parish Council to provide grounds maintenance
services from 1st April 2018
To request approval to enter into a contract
to provide grounds maintenance services to an existing client,
Calverton Parish Council, for a period of one year.
An alternative option would be to not
authorise the provision of this service and not enter into the
agreement for 2017/18. This would result in a loss of income for
PASC services which could then result in the need to restructure
PASC Services. 1.5 PASC operative posts are currently utilised in
the provision of this ground maintenance service. If the service
ceased those posts would be under threat.
