Sinn Féin says £700,000 outsourcing money should be spent bringing jobs inhouse

Belfast Councillors have been told that the city pest control service is understaffed and is facing difficulties in recruiting new employees.

Elected representatives were asked at the recent meeting of the Strategic Policy and Resources Committee to approve tenders and single tender actions over £30,000 and note contract modifications. It adds: “These are additional services to what the council’s internal Pest Contract Unit provides. Consideration was given for the PCU to deliver these services inhouse, but was not considered viable due to resourcing/workload pressures within the PCU and the specialist nature of the pest control services that this tender would cover.”

“That would increase the input of our own Pest Control Unit and we would have what is required in terms of the other commercial facilities that relate to this contract.” "For example if there were pests observed in the Great Hall on a Saturday at 4pm we would need somebody there within an hour. We wouldn’t have the capacity inhouse to deliver for the public and internally as well.”
