May Gurney partners Torbay Council at recycling show
The joint appearance follows May Gurney’s appointment to deliver a range of front line services for Torbay residents, in a groundbreaking JV with Torbay Council.
The contract, valued at up to £130m over an initial period of 10 years with possible extensions of a further 15 years, commences on 19 July 2010. It covers a wide range of essential front-line services including waste and recycling collections; the maintenance of highways, grounds, parks, car parks, buildings and the council's vehicle fleet; street and beach cleansing; and out of hours call centre support.
May Gurney will hold an 80% share of the JVC, named Tor2, which will also independently source new business clients in the region, reflecting the aims of the Government's Total Place initiative. The delivery of bundled services through a single private partner in joint venture with a local authority is a truly innovative solution designed to drive service improvements and value for residents - doing more for less.
