Decision details
Decision Maker: Assets Portfolio Holder, Environment Portfolio Holder, Leader of the Council and Corporate Finance & Governance Portfolio Holder
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Decision:
That the Leader of the Council, the Portfolio Holder for Environment and the Portfolio Holder for Assets, having consulted with the Corporate Director (Operations & Delivery), the Section 151 officer and the Monitoring Officer:-
1. Authorises the extension of the current contracts with Veolia Environmental Services (UK) Ltd for Street Cleaning and Waste and Recycling Collection on the same terms as existing and such that they both expire on 31 March 2026; and
2. Authorises the Corporate Director for Operations & Delivery in consultation with the Head of Legal Services to make the contract extensions.
Reasons for the decision:
The recommendations are made in accordance
with the delegations to Portfolio Holders provided by Cabinet on 26
July 2024.
Alternative options considered:
The options considered have been led by the
progress with the procurement process for the new contract that
will commence in 2026. The timeline for that procurement suggests
that not extending the current contracts leaves insufficient time
for contractor mobilisation following award of the contract. As
such, an extension to 31 March 2026 is prudent and ensures
continuity of service.
