Decision details

The Executive Member (Resources) presented the report of the Director of Customer and Digital that sought approval for the contract award procedure and evaluation criteria for the procurement and distribution of waste receptacles that are required if the proposed changes to waste collections are approved by Council.

Decision:

1.    Approval of the contract award procedure of using the ESPO Framework to advertise the tender on the CHEST to all suppliers included on the framework for the supply and distribution of wheeled bins. Tenders will be evaluated to establish the most economically advantageous tender based on 85% cost, 15% quality.

2.    Delegated authority granted to the Executive Member (Resources) for the awarding of the contract.

Reason(s) for recommendations

Under the Council’s Contract Procedure Rules approval by the Executive Cabinet for contract award tenders greater than £75,000 is required.

Alternative options considered and rejected

To not agree the contract procedure and award would fail to comply with the Council’s Procurement rules.
