See, if you don't build and manage an outsourcing contract properly, the contractor can and will maximise the money they can make from change control. And that's what has happened. I bet that cancellation of the contract has massive penalty clauses.

As the Committee agreed a recommendation by Cllr Nerva, instead of purchasing a bag could I not have my Green Bin emptied if I pay £2.00 everytime I request the service? I would have happily agreed to that if I had been consulted as I only fill my Green Bin approx 3 times per year. £6.00 as opposed to £40.00 is definitely a cost saver for me. Oh and whilst on the subject please could you remove it's little friends at no cost as no-one uses the 2 Food Caddies which are in pristine brand new condition, keeping the Green Bin company.Jaine Lunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07815584566299095436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-18027813691564205282016-01-07T22:35:32.299+00:002016-01-07T22:35:32.299+00:00So the only thing agreed was to sell us some more ...So the only thing agreed was to sell us some more rubbish sacks.
