To seek delegated authority for the Director of Community Services, in consultation with the Executive Member for Community Services, to award contracts for various waste treatment and disposal lots following the completion of the EU procurement process.

To authorise the Director of Community Services, in consultation with the Executive Member for Community Services, to award contracts for the waste treatment and disposal lots identified within the report in order to meet the required timescales, allowing contracts to be operational by October 2016.

The Executive considered a report from the Executive Member for Community Services that set out the strategy to deliver several residual waste treatment and disposal contracts so that waste treatment and disposal services could be maintained. 

The Council was in the final stages of agreeing a new waste disposal contract with a waste management company in a neighbouring authority to treat and dispose of the Council’s kerbside black bin waste and street cleansing residual waste. A procurement was currently underway to secure treatment and disposal of the remaining materials.

Reason for decision:  To enable the Council to meet its statutory obligations.

RESOLVED

to authorise the Director of Community Services, in consultation with the Executive Member for Community Services, to award contracts for the waste treatment and disposal lots identified within the report in order to meet the required timescales, allowing contracts to be operational by October 2016.
