Purpose

See attached ODR for details

Decision

1. To enact a minor variation of the above named Contract to provide for the use of Whitespace to manage the Waste and Recycling Service.
   
   2. To leave all other Contract provisions unchanged.
   
   3. To confirm the Waste and Recycling Manager has the authority to sign and enact the variation in accordance with delegated roles under the Contract
   
   
   
   

Alternative options considered

The alternative course of action would be to decide not to implement the new Waste Collection Management System (Whitespace), this option is rejected because the former May rise contract has now expired and the software and servers required to host the system are obsolete (no longer supported by Microsoft).

The Council was required to conduct a formal public procurement for a new Waste Management System, or to build such software in-house (which the Council did not have the capacity to
provide).
