A Belfast Council plan to spend £70,000 on a “giant bubble” has been held up after being questioned by elected representatives.
At the most recent committee meeting at Belfast City Council, an officer update report on contracts sought approval from councillors for a number of “single tender actions”.
They involved a contract for up to £100,000 for six months, awarded to MCS Group, for Environmental Health Officers and Technical Support Officers to cover 24 hour shift rotas cover “for essential service delivery” within the Port Health Service. Among the responsibilities of these contracted workers will be the Irish Sea border Brexit trade checks.
