Purpose

The Procurement Forward Programme
was considered by Crawley Borough Council’s Cabinet on 24
July 2024 (FIN/661 refers) where it was agreed that award of this
contract would be delegated to the Leader.

However, it was subsequently agreed that Horsham District Council
(HDC) would be acting as Lead Authority and would award the
contract on behalf of all Authorities involved. Therefore, the
Leader of Crawley Borough Council was not required to action the
award of contract.
On 25 September 2024 HDC
considered the matter and resolved to “approve the award of a
cash collections contract to the winning bidder following the
conclusion of the procurement exercise”.

The procurement exercise has now been completed by HDC and the
final scores following the evaluation & moderation have been
published in information bulletin IB/1257 (for Councillors
only).

Content

The
procurement exercise has now been completed and the contract has
been awarded by Horsham District Council to Jade Securities
Services Limited.

Crawley Borough Council has therefore now signed off for their
portion of the contract value.
