The Executive Member for Places presented the confidential report which provided an update on the performance of the waste contract and plans for future service improvement and efficiencies.  The report sought approval from Members for an extension of the existing waste management contract by a further two years in order to realise a saving of ?400,000 over the remainder of the contract.

Decision made

1.         The continuing good performance of the waste contract and the plans for future service improvements and efficiencies be noted.

2.         Authorisation granted to the two year contract extension so the contract would now end on 31 March 2021.

Reason(s) for decision

Alternative option(s) considered and rejected

To not agree the contract extension means the Council would not achieve this saving.
