WASTE, RECYCLING AND STREET CLEANSING CONTRACT SERVICE DESIGN - PART 2
REPORT OF THE SHARED SERVICE MANAGER
Officers are currently undergoing a competitive dialogue procurement and are seeking a decision from Cabinet on further service design options that can be considered in order to achieve the long-term financial sustainability of the service and the Council.

Decision:
RECOMMENDED TO CABINET: That the Overview and Scrutiny Committee recommend to Cabinet that the recommendations contained within the report entitled ‘Waste, Recycling and Street Cleansing Contract Service Design – Part 2’ be amended to:
(1) Any changes to the service design identified in Appendix 2 regarding waste and recycling service are referred back to Cabinet for approval.
(2) Any changes to the service design identified in Appendix 2 regarding street cleansing service are referred back to Cabinet for approval
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
(1) The competitive dialogue procurement process allows the Council to explore service design options which may present benefits to the Council. The process so far has identified that significant cost increases are likely from the waste, recycling and street cleansing services in the next contract.
(2) Officers have considered the initial offers from bidders and discussed opportunities for specification changes with them, which are aligned with the Council’s aims for high performance, but that will reduce the costs to the Council with minimal impacts on perceived performance.
(3) To ensure decisions are taken by elected representatives and not delegated to Officers.
Minutes:
N.B. This item was considered in restricted session and therefore no recordings were available.
