Waste Collection Contract Award
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: No
Decisions:
The Cabinet considered a report of the Executive Director (Environment and Place) which sought approval to award the Contract for Waste and Street Cleansing Services to the highest scoring bidder with the relevant delegated authority to proceed with the completion of contracts.
In referring to paragraph 4.5 of the report, the Executive Director confirmed that the standstill period was in fact 10 calendar days.
Resolved:
1. That the award of the contract for waste and street cleansing services to the highest scoring bidder, be approved. The contract will commence on 5th April 2025 for a period of eight (8) years with an option to extend the contract by a further period or periods (each to be no less than one year in duration) of up to twelve (12) years in aggregate.
2. That authority be delegated to the Executive Director (Environment and Place) to notify the bidders of the outcome of the procurement and to enter into the relevant contract.
3. That it be noted that the identity of the preferred bidder is confidential (as the procurement is live) until the end of the standstill period at which point Councillors will be notified.
4. That the budget implications associated with the contract award set out in the submitted report and the Exempt Appendix 1 and that this will be considered as part of the budget setting arrangements for the 2025/26 budget year, be noted.
Reason for Decisions:
To enable the award of a contract for Waste and Street Cleansing Services and ensure that the Council can discharge its statutory duties in relation to waste collection and street cleansing services from 5th April 2025.
Other Options:
Not to award the contract, but the Council has no other provision in place that would deliver waste collection and street cleansing services delivered from 5th April 2025.
