Reasons for the Decisions:
It is necessary to procure the supply and distribution of approximately 100,000 wheeled bins in order to implement a glass collection and recycling service for domestic properties. In accordance with the Council’s Contract Procedure Rules, the value of this procurement requires pre-procurement approval from Cabinet.
Alternative Options Considered and Rejected:
Alternative methods of procurement, such as the Council running its own OJEU compliant procurement process, were considered and rejected as use of the existing OJEU-compliant YPO Framework was felt to provide the most effective and efficient route.
