Content

AGREED to:
 
·        
Commit the procurement and appointment of one or
more contractors to deliver services for bulking and transfer of
Fenland’s collected municipal mixed dry recycling
materials.
 
·        
Delegate to the Corporate Director and Section 151
Officer for the authorisation of the final Invitation to Tender
(ITT), and to award the contract, in consultation with the
Portfolio Holder, after considering possible sharing of facilities
and/or contractors with neighbouring Councils which are likely to
form part of the same Unitary Authority in Fenland after Local
Government Reorganisation.
 
·        
Allow authority for the Corporate Director and
Section 151 Officer, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder, in
tandem with the tender process to explore the provision of this
contract through agreement with the County Council at their March
Transfer Station, operated by Thalia, where this is financially
advantageous and contractually practicable.
 
·        
To note that should a suitable contractor and/or
facilities not be forthcoming, then it may be necessary for the
Council to pursue the construction of a suitable solution for our
own operation, or to discuss possible sharing of facilities with
neighbouring Councils which are likely to form part of the same
Unitary Authority in Fenland after Local Government
Reorganisation.
