Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

This report sets out the proposed procurement strategy to competitively tender the contract to deliver the Waste, Recycling and Street Cleansing services from 30th January 2023. The initial contract term will be to October 2032 to align with the council’s waste disposal agreement with Western Riverside Waste Authority (WRWA). Officers also recommend an option for the council to extend the contract for a further period of up to eight years.

Decision:

1.    To note that Appendix 1 is exempt from disclosure on the grounds that it contains information relating to the financial or business affairs of a particular person (including the authority holding that information) under paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, and in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

 

2.    To approve in accordance with the council’s Contract Standing Order (CSO) 18.1 the procurement strategy for the waste collection, recycling and street cleansing services. The contract is estimated to start on 30th January 2023 to October 2032, with options to extend for a further eight years.

 

3.    To delegate authority to the Strategic Director for the Environment, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for the Environment, to approve minor changes to the procurement process or to the evaluation methodology as set out in procurement strategy, for operational reasons if required.
