Recommendations approved.
Reasons for the recommendations
1. Based on the evaluation criteria awarding to the proposed bidder provides the best option for the council.
2. The proposed bidder is well equipped to supply and maintain the fleet therefore provide resilience for service delivery.
Other options considered and rejected
1. Not replacing the mechanical sweepers at all will prevent the council from delivering its street sweeping service
2. Extending the lease on the current sweeper fleet for prolonged duration may lead to increased downtime as the older vehicles are less reliable.
