Decision details

(i)  to extend the Waste Management Contract with Veolia to 2030; and

(ii)  to delegate authority to the Director of Place, following consultation with the Head of Legal and Democratic Services and the Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport to finalise and enter into all legal documentation necessary to enable the contract extension. 

1.  The extension of the contract will reduce the Council’s waste disposal costs from as early as January 2015.

2.  An integral part of the extension is the commitment from Veolia to jointly invest with the Waste Disposal Authorities in developing and implementing efficiencies to service delivery aligned to increasing recycling and reducing landfill.

1.  Continue the existing disposal contract to its current expiry dates of 2023-2025 and replace with a new arrangement at that point. This was rejected as a consequence of the value for money review carried out in support of this decision

2.  Terminate the contract early and move to an alternative operator and maintain contract from 2016/17 to 2030. This was rejected as a consequence of the value for money review carried out in support of this decision.
