Decision details

Approval of the principles regarding the new Streetscene Contract

Exempt report of the Corporate Director (Resources, Environment and Cultural Services) on potential service changes and recycling options as part of the procurement process.

The existing Streetscene and Grounds Maintenance contracts were due to end in March 2020 and a cross party Procurement Board was set up to oversee the procurement process of the new contract. 

The first rounds of the tenders would be submitted and returned to the Council at the end of August 2018 and would enable Officers to analyse the financial implications of enhanced recycling rate options.  It was anticipated that a further report would be brought back to the Cabinet before the final tender stage to confirm the recycling options.

RESOLVED:

That the Cabinet agrees with the views of the cross party Streetscene Contract Procurement Board on potential service changes as highlighted in the exempt report, anticipating that a future report would be brought to the Cabinet before the final tender stage to confirm the recycling options once the financial implications were known.
