PDF 63 KBDecision Maker: Corporate Director
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
To approve orders for stock supplies required
for the Refuse and Cleansing Service, Bins and Bags for the year
April 2026 to March 2027.
Decision:
To place orders through the ESPO framework via direct aware of mini competitions for wheeled bins and refuse sacks to be put into stock. Yearly purchases circa £95k bins and £40k bags.
Reasons for the decision:
Material stocks are required to support the Council’s Refuse and Cleansing Service so that there are no interruptions to the service. Therefore, stocks are essential for the day-to-day activities of the service.
An ESPO framework is available to the Council already pre-tendered to allow orders to be raised to approved suppliers by direct award or mini competitions.
Alternative options considered:
Tender for supplies just for FDC only, this would not give us the economies of scale we currently enjoy using the ESPO buying Consortium and wider ranging offer.
Background/Reports/Information:
Legal and Procurement Implications
This a PA2023 compliant framework.
Financial Implications
There is an approved budget for this extension.
