Operational Review of Parks and Environmental Services

The Council has an ambitious transformation programme and an objective to be self-sufficient by 2020. The driver for this is as a result of on-going reductions in Government grants over the last few years which are going to continue. The council is looking to achieve this by developing a commercial culture and is assessing how it delivers all its services to develop opportunities to increase income streams and reduce costs, whilst not forgetting the needs of the customer. We are looking for a consultancy to work closely with the Parks & Environmental Services Management Team to undertake a full operational review of the services detailed above to identify such opportunities within the service. The operational services that are included in this review are: Waste (Garden Waste, Household, Recycling and Trade); Motor Transport; Parks & Open Spaces and Street Cleansing. For clarity, Bereavement Services, the Nursery and Arboriculture are not included within this review.
