The Environment Portfolio
Holder agreed to an early decision in principle, to extend the
Environmental Services Contracts with Veolia for a further 8 years
(1st April 2027 to 31st March 2035) and that Officers should
proceed to develop a package of efficiency and financial savings
proposals for further consideration.
 
The Environment Portfolio
Holder agreed that a formal decision report be presented for
scrutiny by the Environment & Community Services PDS Committee
at the March 2024 Committee meeting, so that Members could provide
their comments on the proposals for the extension of the Veolia
Environmental Services Contracts, that would be presented to the
Executive at the March 2024 meeting.
 

Reasons for the decision

The Veolia Environmental Services Contract
Strategy report sought a decision in principle to extend the
current Veolia Environmental Services Contracts beyond April
2027.
 
The financial size of the respective
Environmental Services Contracts falls within the Council’s
CPR thresholds and are therefore subject to long publication and
procurement lead-in times. A decision to re-tender or extend these
contracts beyond March 2027 would require a decision by the
Executive at the March 2024 meeting.
