    • Contractors (Skanska) to provide a Performance Improvement Plan to show how they will get back on track
  • Other performance standards PS2-PS7 and PS9 are all being achieved
  • PS4 - Contract Management and Customer Interface:
    • Customer contact centre was changed and did not function as expected
    • Calls not being answered in required time so December performance under par

    • Can turn lights on and off as required from CMS

 

The committee RESOLVED to note:
