Background:

 

This report provided a review of the contract procurement options for the Waste Collection and Cleansing contract on expiry of the existing contract with Veolia on 30 September 2019. The report stated that the contract covered kerbside refuse, recycling and organic waste collection, street cleaning and the Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) treatment of kerbside collected recyclable materials. The report set out three options for the future delivery of the services which included extension of existing contract, retender via the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) or entering into a Joint Venture with Norse.

 

An Exempt Appendix provided the business case which included a detailed analysis of the three options for the future delivery of the services.

Reasons:

 

Option 3, entering the contract into the Joint Venture with Medway Norse offers best value for money, opportunities for efficiencies between existing contracts already part of the Joint Venture and flexibility in future service provision.
