The total estimated Contract value is
£3,600,000.
 
The contract value represents the maximum
contract value. It is expected that year on year expenditure for
RCV Rental will fall. For example, 7x purchased RCVs are due to be
received imminently which will reduce the number of RCVs on
hire.
 
This contract will provide RCV cover for
delays, changes in Council policy and any other unforeseen
events.
 
This contract has been procured via a
pre-established national framework agreement which is administered
by The Procurement Partnership Limited (TPPL).
 
The Contract is required to maintain our
statutory duty for providing waste collection services.
 
The procurement sought to appoint a single
supplier. The successful supplier (Trash UK Ltd) and selected on
the basis of providing highly competitive prices with quality
vehicles and service.
 
This contract is for the short-term hire of
Refuse Collection Vehicles (RCVs) and as such provides no long-term
commitment. This enables market analysis to be carried out to
ensure best value. This also provides the flexibility to off-hire
if the decision is made to replace these vehicles with electric
alternatives or lower cost alternatives are found.
 
All costs associated with RCV hire will be in
accordance with existing pre-approved budgets.
