Issue - decisions

The Portfolio Holder is requested to agree the or order (and thus purchase) of a 26-tonne refuse freighter via the RECAP Vehicle Framework for work within the Refuse and Recycling service.

It is expected that the vehicles will be £233,000 in total; with capital budget agreed by Council for 2026/2027.

The vehicles being replaced are between 10 years old and will be sold or scrapped, with a current frontline vehicle moving to ensure that we continue to have a suitable level of spare vehicles.

Decision

To purchase a suitable 26-tonne refuse collection vehicle via the current RECAP Vehicle Replacement Framework, with payment upon delivery in 2026/2027.
