Report of the Service Director (Resident and Neighbourhoods) on the Award of Contract for Textile Services.

(1)          The Decision Taken

RESOLVED:

(unanimous)

Cabinet agreed to award the contract for Textile Services to East London Textiles Limited for a three- year period with a possible extension of up to two years, commencing on 1 April 2023.

(2)       Reasons for the Decision

The Council is the lead authority for the sale of textiles from councils within the Hertfordshire Waste Partnership (HWP). The council had recently undertaken a procurement exercise for a new three-year contract (with the option of up to two years’ extension) for the provision and servicing of textile banks across the County.

The Contractor will pay each authority for each tonne of textiles collected minus a payment to empty each bank, resulting in net income paid to each authority.

The full procurement results were set out in the Part 2 report.

(Note: Cabinet considered and agreed both the Part 1 and Part 2 reports for this item, so a confidential discussion in Part 2 was not needed).
