The Council had a requirement for Business Removal Services and the Cabinet Member for Business Services said that this requirement was covered by the current contract which expired on 30 September 2014. It was therefore necessary to award a new contract. She also said that the framework agreement required the supplier to comply with all relevant equality and diversity legislation whilst performing their services.
