To recommend to Council the re-tender of the
Joint Waste Collection Services Contract.

Content

The Executive RECOMMENDED to Council

That (i)   
the procurement and
contract strategy for waste collection services be
approved:

a.  
To reprocure a joint contract with Mole Valley District
Council, Elmbridge Borough Council and Surrey Heath Borough Council
based on the current baseline service specification (outlined in
6.1 of the report) for waste collection with an initial term of
seven years commencing on expiry of the current contract in 2027
and expiring in 2034, with two further options to extend up to a
maximum of fourteen years.

b.  
The contract management function will continue to be
delegated by the four authorities to one client
team.

         
(ii)   authority
be delegated to the Head of
Environmental Services in consultation with the Strategic Director
- Place, Director of Legal and Democratic Services, Section 151
Officer and the Portfolio Holder with responsibility for Waste as a
member of the Joint Waste Collection Services to take all actions
necessary to give effect to the decision in (i) including but not
limited to;

a.  
The final specification.

b.  
The price/quality split and the detailed evaluation
criteria and weightings.

Reason:  
The Council has a statutory duty to arrange
for the collection of household waste (Environmental Protection Act
1990). A strategic review of the options for succeeding the
existing contract, concludes that reprocurement offers the best
value at least risk.
