To approve the purchase of 1 x New Trade Bin
Delivery Vehicle and 2 x Fly Tipping / Litter vehicles.

To approve the award of the required purchase
contracts to the supplier selected pursuant of the relevant
framework agreement (the contracts).
To delegate authority to the
Director of Communities in consultation with the Head of Legal
& Democratic Services to finalise the terms and conditions of
and enter into the contracts.

Reasons for the decision

The above vehicles are now due for replacement
as they are 10 years old and have come to the end of their useful
economic life. The cost of the three vehicles is above
£100,000 but below key decision threshold.

Alternative options considered

Purchasing other second-hand diesel / HVO vehicles has been
explored but no suitable vehicles are available.
Purchasing new diesel / HVO options were explored but this is
not in line with our carbon reduction policy and achieving net zero
by 2030.
Hiring a van at a cost of
£390 per week was rejected on cost grounds.
