Decision details

ACCEPTANCE OF GLASS PROCESSING INTO WASTE DISPOSAL SERVICE CONTRACT FOR SOUTHAMPTON CITY COUNCIL, WHICH INCLUDES ALL AUTHORITIES IN HAMPSHIRE

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

Following the cabinet report in April 2018, regarding the tendering of the Hampshire wide glass processing and disposal contract, which was completed in June 2018 (which, Southampton City Council (SCC) and Portsmouth City Council (PCC) are part of), it was not possible to award the contract as it would have resulted in a significant reduction in income. It is now intended to accept glass processing and disposal contract into the Waste Disposal Service Contract (WDSC) until December 2030.

Decision:

(i)  To agree to accept glass processing and disposal into the Waste Disposal Service Contract, which is managed by Hampshire County Council on behalf of SCC and Portsmouth City Council (PCC) as the managing authority, in order to dispose of glass effectively.

(ii)  To delegate authority to the Service Director: Transactions and Universal Services to do what is necessary to implement recommendation (i) above.

Reasons for the decision:

To continue with a Hampshire-wide glass processing and disposal contract in order to provide a consistent approach to glass disposal and a stable income source. 

Alternative options considered:

None, as the approved procurement exercise has been completed and it would not be cost effective for SCC to procure a new contract separately from partners.
