Cleaning Tender for Toilets and Visitor Centres pdf icon PDF 295 KB

Minutes:

The Head of Asset Management  introduced the report which was to seek approval to enter into a contract  to provide cleaning services at a number of the Authority’s sites as the current contract had ceased. The Head of Asset Management explained that  due to the resignation of a number of cleaners, extra sites had been  incorporated into the contract, so approval from committee was needed due to the level of expenditure.

 

Members asked whether there were any plans to increase the toilet provision  in some parts of the National Park?   The Head of Asset Manager explained that the National Park Authority did  provide a basic provision, some in conjunction with other partners, but due to lack of budget, there were currently no plans in place to increase the number of toilet facilities.

 

Members also asked if it was possible to provide signs in the toilets that showed that the products used were environmentally friendly, and if it would be possible to put donation boxes in the toilets?   It was agreed that the Authority would look into putting signs into the toilets,  but it was explained to Members that donation boxes would not be put into the toilet blocks, as  part of the fee from the pay and display carparks paid towards the running costs of the toilets, except for  Dovedale  which required users to pay 20p to use the facilities, as the Authority did not run that car park.

 

The Chair of the Authority expressed his gratitude to the Authority for  keeping all toilet sites open and operating in a difficult time.

 

The recommendation as set out in the report, was moved, seconded, voted on and carried.

 

RESOLVED:-

 

That expenditure on a contract for the provision of cleaning services in excess of £150,000 (being £206,397 for 3 years) was approved.
