Question from: County Councillor Elwyn Vaughan Subject: HOWPS
Question:
What conditions or break clauses exist in the contract with Kier in relation to the partnership re HOWPS which enables a clean break in the partnership?
Minutes: Response by the Portfolio Holder:
It is a 10-year contract with a break clause on the 5th Anniversary i.e. July 2022. In addition, the contract provides for termination at any time for convenience upon giving 6 months written notice, but this would be a potentially expensive option in terms of having to provide compensation. The contract also provides for termination of the contract for serious contractual breaches. |
