Purpose

Ipswich Borough Council as a landlord is responsible for the maintenance of its housing stock. 

Household clearance and maintenance works generate hazardous waste materials that require a specialist contractor to collect, transport and dispose of this waste.

An open competitive procurement exercise was undertaken and three bids were received and evaluated. It was decided to award a contract to VEOLIA Environmental Services for an initial term of 36 months, with the option to extend for up to two further periods of 12 months. 

The total contract award sum is £55680.00. (including if the Council takes the option to extend the contract) 

Decision

To award the contract for the collection, transportation and disposal of hazardous liquid waste to VEOLIA Environmental Services 

Reason:

A competitive quotation process was undertaken to employ a specialist contractor capable of delivering the service, safely, compliantly and cost effectively. Three bids were received and evaluated against the published quality and price criteria. VEOLIA Environmental Services achieved the highest overall score and was therefore identified as the most economically

advantageous tenderer.
