8 Waste Strategy pdf icon PDF 116 KB

This report provides an update on procurement matters in relation to the Council’s proposals to implement the new Household Waste Collection Strategy (2010), thus:

  • The provision of new waste collection vehicles.
  • The supply and distribution of various household waste containers, namely:
    • Kitchen caddies and food waste kerbside containers
    • Wheeled bins
  • The use of the Chief Executive’s Delegated Powers to complete this process.

Decision:

(i)         that the revised means of acquiring 12 waste collection vehicles, by way of hire instead of purchase, to be implemented by way of a variation to the main waste contract with Veolia, be noted;

(ii)        that the outcome of the procurement process for the supply and distribution of various household waste containers be noted;

(iii)       that the use (on the basis of ‘urgency’) of the Chief Executive’s delegated powers to authorise the variation and award of contract described in paragraph (i) and (ii) be noted.

Minutes:

Councillor Powney (Lead Member, Environment and Neighbourhoods) introduced the report which provided an update on procurement matters in relation to the Council’s proposals to implement the new Household Waste Collection Strategy (2010), in particular the provision of new waste collection vehicles and the supply and distribution of various household waste containers. Councillor Powney also drew attention to the use of the Chief Executive’s delegated powers to vary and award the contract given the contract deadlines and increasing prices.

 

RESOLVED:

 

(i)         that the revised means of acquiring 12 waste collection vehicles, by way of hire instead of purchase, to be implemented by way of a variation to the main waste contract with Veolia, be noted;

 

(ii)        that the outcome of the procurement process for the supply and distribution of various household waste containers be noted;

 

(iii)       that the use (on the basis of ‘urgency’) of the Chief Executive’s delegated powers to authorise the variation and award of contract described in paragraph (i) and (ii) be noted.
