Issue - meetings

(i)               Approves the direct award process for 12 (3.5 & 4.5 tonne) pickup vehicles utilising the TPPL procurement framework

(ii)              Approves the procurement of ride on mowers through a mini competition process utilising the ESPO procurement framework.

(iii)             That our Streetscene and two MMF 3.5 tonne pickups, are replaced by

electrically driven vehicles.

The Portfolio Holder for Sustainable Environment introduced a report seeking approval to replace the Council’s current fleet of Streetscene 3.5 and 4.5 tonne vehicles and to procure additional ride on mowing equipment.

Electric vehicles were not an option in 2016 but would be this time.  The current fleet generated approximately 51.8 tonnes of C02 each year, the new fleet would be six electrically powered vehicles and six vehicles using the hydro treated vegetable oil.  This would give a carbon reduction of 48.67 tonnes each year.

Resolved:     (i)         That the direct award process for 12 (3.5 & 4.5 tonne)

pickup vehicles utilising the TPPL procurement framework, be approved.

(ii)          That the procurement of ride on mowers through a mini competition process utilising the ESPO procurement framework, be approved.

(iii)         That our Streetscene and two MMF 3.5 tonne pickups, be replaced by electrically driven vehicles.
