This decision has been called in by:

Councillor Clarence Barrett who writes The reasons for the 'call-in' are: 1. Insufficient consideration has been given to the options to retain an in-house service. 2. There has been no consultation with service users. 3. In view of the proposal to transfer staff under the Transfer of Undertaking Protection of Employment Regulations (TUPE) to exmaine why similar savings could not be achieved with an in-house service. 4. To examine the "Tender" arrangements and processes used in identifying the preferred bidder. 5. To consider the outcomes arising from similar service externalisations in other Councils."
