Minutes:
Councillor Lidia Arciszewska, Executive Member for Environment, introduced the report, which sought approval to enter into a contract with N+P Group for bulking, haulage and processing of recycling collected as part of the residential kerbside and business waste collections.
The Executive Member praised the work of Bill Oddy (Assistant Director, Commercial Development), Simon Anthony (Business Manager, Environmental Services) and Bob Lightfoot (Waste Contract Manager), for their efforts and resolve in helping to bring forward the contract for consideration by the Executive.
In debate, the Executive highlighted that the contract was a huge step forward within the realm of waste collection provisions, and that an expansion of waste collection provisions at the kerbside would be cascaded through the Council’s communication channels in due course.
At the invitation of the Leader, Councillor Dan Levy queried whether in the midst of the new contract being agreed, kerbside collection modelling would remain the same across the district. The Executive stated that kerbside collections would not change as a result of the proposed contract agreement.
Councillor Lidia Arciszewska proposed that the Executive agree the recommendations as listed on the original report. This was seconded by Councillor Alaric Smith, was put to a vote, and was unanimously agreed by the Executive.
The Executive Resolved to:
- Agree to enter into a Dry Mixed Recycling Bulking and Haulage Contract with N+P for 2 years from 1 October 2024;
- Delegate authority to the Assistant Director for Commercial Development, in consultation with the Executive Member for Environment and Director of Finance, to award a Glass Recycling Bulking and Haulage Contract with the preferred bidder for up to 2 years from 1 October 2024, following a procurement exercise.
