The Reasons are: As part of the 2023/24 capital
programme, funding has been agreed to replace eleven Refuse
Collection vehicles (RCV’s) that have reached their
operational life and require replacing.
 
The request for approval to
procure these RCV’s is due to the current existing vehicles
being beyond their operational and economic efficiency, which is
resulting in increasing “down time” that in turn is
contributing to delayed waste & recycling bin collections, and
this is impacting on our service delivery performance, resulting in
reputational issues for an essential service that is a statutory
requirement and vital service for our residents.
 
It was decided to procure the
vehicles via the capital programme, as it is currently the most
cost-effective funding option (oppose to leasing). The Place
Directorate has received capital funding to cover this
expenditure.

Options considered and rejected
were: Continuing to use existing
fleet. Due to the age of the vehicles this was rejected as
uneconomically viable.

Assessment of Risk: Failure to replace the fleet
would impact of service delivery of the waste and recycling service
and eventually failure to provide full service.

The source of funding
is: Capital Programme
