RESOLVED
 
i)              
To approve the direct award of a contract for clinical waste
collection and support services via the West Sussex County Council
(WSCC) framework agreement, following the procurement process;
and

 
ii)             
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 contract through the WSCC framework agreement.
 
REASON
 
Under section 45 of the Environmental
Protection Act 1990 (‘the EPA’), Waste Collection
Authorities have a duty to arrange for the collection of household
waste. Household waste includes clinical waste produced at domestic
properties. Waste Disposal Authorities are required by section 51
of the EPA to dispose of such waste.
 
In April 2019, WSCC entered into an agreement
with a supplier to provide both the collection and support services
for clinical waste as well as the treatment and disposal of the
waste and this contract is due to expire on 31 March 2025. There
are currently 2,885 customers utilising the clinical waste service
in the Horsham district.
