Previous Council Consideration
Nil.

Finance
The use of suppliers on this panel arrangement is funded mainly through the Arborist Services
Cost Centre within Parks & Gardens, which will be approved as part of the 2020/21 Council
budget. The pricing put forward by suppliers on the panel does not represent a large increase
compared to the previous panel arrangement pricing and should not impact on the quantity or
quality of works achieved within future budgets.

Risks & Opportunities
Establishment of the new panel (with proposed option periods) will allow Council to regularly
review the performance of each panel member and make informed decisions regarding future
panel member arrangements. Establishment of the new panel also allows staff to engage pre-
qualified suppliers to undertake work in a timely manner without the need for an extended
quotation process.
