Cabinet will be asked to agree the procurement
process for the new Waste Contract. This includes splitting the
existing service provision into individual areas and entering into
a number of contracts rather than one large contract which is the
current provision.
42/2007 The Cabinet approved the separation of
disposal services from collection services as the outcome of the
former has an impact upon the options for the latter.
43/2007 The Cabinet approved the adoption of Option 2, as set out
in the report, with the disposal of waste being dealt with in
advance of other waste services.
44/2007 The Cabinet noted the need for a further Options Appraisal
paper in respect of waste collection options to be submitted at the
latest by the time the disposal options reach the contract award
stage at Gateway 3.
45/2007 The Cabinet agreed that subject to compliance with EU
procurement regulations and best value rules, the procurement
arrangements will be undertaken so as to ensure the Council is
fully able to benefit from economies of scale should the disposal
and, later, the collection contract be awarded to the same
contractor.
The existing contract ends in September 2009
and new or revised services will be required to enable the Council
to meet its Landfill Allowance Trading Scheme (LATS) obligations
and recycling targets beyond that date.The Council needs to ensure
that in the contract process we obtain good competition for the
services we require at a time when many councils are carrying out a
similar process.
