Minutes:
The Marketing and Major Projects Manager submitted a report to update cabinet on the performance of the RNLI (‘Royal National Lifeboat Institution’) operated beach lifeguard services in Hastings for the last four years and to recommend that a new contract is awarded for the next three years.
Cabinet discussed how the ‘RNLI’ provides an expert service. It was mentioned that as well as saving lives the lifeguards have been talking to and educating beach users. It was highlighted that the ‘RNLI’ supply their own equipment at their expense and fund the management structure for the lifeguard service. The Chair agreed that the RNLI provide an excellent service.
Councillor O’Callaghan proposed approval of the recommendations, seconded by Councillor Rogers.RESOLVED (unanimously):
1. That HBC enter into a new three year contract with the RNLI for the RNLI to provide a beach lifeguard service at Hastings for the 2021 – 2023 (inclusive) seasons and they are appointed without going through the competitive tendering procedures.
2. That authority is delegated to the assistant director of regeneration and culture or her nominee to conclude the necessary legal agreements.
Reasons:
Because the RNLI is able to provide a better service at better value than we can provide in-house.
