Decision details
NatWest Contract Extension
Decision Maker: Head of Resources
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
NatWest current contract has expired. It is
not envisaged that the revised prices will have a material impact
on the contract, i.e. less than 10% of the initial contract value,
therefore allowing a delegated officer decision to be made.
Decision:
Option 2: 2 year extension
Last year’s contract negotiation resulted in bank charges
reducing by circa £8k per year. Previous market testing has
show that we are getting value for money, but this timeframe would
allow for further market testing to be done if considering a longer
term contract in the future. Current pricing will be extended at
the same levels until 31st March 2023.
Alternative options considered:
Option 1: 12 month extension
Option 2: 2 year extension
Option 3: 5 year extension
