Co-Chairs of Corporate and Resources Committee (Kingston Council)
Kingston Council's Corporate and Resources Committee recently oversaw decisions on cleaning and security contracts.
Kingston Council's Corporate and Resources Committee recently noted an urgent decision to extend the cleaning contract with YBC Cleaning Services Ltd for one year, valued at £5.21m ex VAT. This decision, reported at the committee's meeting in November 2025, was taken to prevent a service lapse as the previous contract ended in September 2025, ensuring continuity of building cleaning services.
The committee also delegated authority to the Executive Director of Place in September 2025 to award a security guarding contract. This was to ensure the continuity of essential security services, as the previous contract was set to conclude in November 2025, following an evaluation of five compliant tenders.
