Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Decision:
That the Executive Councillor:
(1) approves the carrying out of a procurement process for the award of a new contract for the bulk haulage of Municipal Solid Waste for the period 1st April 2018 to the 31st March 2023 with the option of a two year extension, to the 31st March 2025; and
(2) delegates to the Executive Director for Environment and Economy, in consultation with the Executive Councillor for Commercial and Environmental Management, authority to take all decisions in connection with the procurement including the decision to award the contract and to enter into all documentation necessary to give effect to the service.
Reasons for the decision:
The Council has a statutory duty to dispose of waste and therefore needs to be able to transfer waste to ultimate disposal facilities. Without the award of a contract for haulage of waste the Council will not be able to fulfil this statutory duty.
Alternative options considered:
There have been no alternatives considered as the Council has a statutory duty to dispose of waste and therefore to transport waste to the disposal facilities and does not have the equipment or experience to deliver such services itself.
