Purpose

The decision was taken to extend the current
contract rather than retender, due to market uncertainty and
limited suppliers. The extension forms part of the original tender
so by using it we are not exposed to this volatility.

Decision

The Services Agreement for the processing and
disposal of dry mixed recyclables will be extended for a period of
two years until 28 June 2026, as allowed for in Clause 3.3 of the
Contract.

Alternative options considered

Retender.
Do nothing.
