Minutes:
The Assistant Director, Environment and Place, presented a report which updated members on urgent developments associated with the provision of waste and cleansing services, when the existing contract ends.
Members of the joint waste partnership and the contractor had agreed to a mutual early termination of the waste and street cleansing contract. It was therefore necessary for the local authority partners to begin the procurement process for a new contract, which will come into effect from 29 June 2019.
Local authorities wishing to participate in a joint procurement exercise for waste services are required to sign an inter-authority agreement by 18 July 2017. The outcome of the procurement exercise will be reported back to Cabinet in autumn 2018 for decision.
The report also sought authority to develop arrangements for a potential in-house street and beach cleansing, bulky waste and fly tip removal service to operate in Hastings from 29 June 2019, subject to this meeting best value requirements.
Councillor Fitzgerald proposed approval of the recommendations to the Assistant Director, Environment and Place’s report, which was seconded by Councillor Batsford.
RESOLVED (unanimously) that Cabinet authorises:
1. The Chief Legal Officer in consultation with the Director of operational Services to sign the Joint Waste Partnership Inter Authority Agreement attached at appendix one to the report. Committing the council to procure waste services to commence 29 June 2019
2. The Assistant Director, Financial Services and Revenues, in consultation with the Leader of the Council, to increase the 2017/18 budget allocation in support of waste procurement to £75,000. To enable the council to commit to and participate in the East Sussex Joint Waste Partnership joint waste procurement
3. The two Hastings Borough Council members appointed to the Joint Waste Committee, to take key waste services procurement decisions on behalf of the council, in accordance with the constitution of the Joint Waste Committee
4. The Director of Operational Services to develop comprehensive fully costed arrangements for a potential Hastings street cleansing direct services organisation (DSO), which subject to meeting best value criteria, could provide street and beach cleansing, fly tip removal and bulky waste collection services in Hastings from 29 June 2019
The reason for this decision was:
The existing waste services contract provided through the East Sussex Joint Waste Partnership ends on 28 June 2019, and new arrangements must be in place ready to commence on 29 June 2019, to ensure seamless transition for residents.
