1)    That the Cabinet agrees with the submission of a tender and authorises Officers to enter into a contract if the Councils bid is successful.

2)    That subject to the above, Cabinet delegates the authority to finalise the tender for the contract, agree the necessary up front funding requirements and enter into a contract with Keele University to the Executive Director (Operational Service) after consultation with the Executive Director (Resources and Support Services), the Monitoring Officer, Cabinet Portfolio Holder - Finance and Resources and Cabinet Portfolio Holder - Environment and Recycling.

Consideration was given to a report highlighting the opportunity for tendering for a medium sized recycling and waste management contract.  It would enable Keele University to be offered a value for money service that fulfils their environmental requirements.

The contract would commence on 1 August, 2014 for a three year period and, subject to satisfactory performance as determined by the University, an option to extend for a further three years.

The success of this tender would assist in the rolling out of a borough-wide trade waste recycling service.

Resolved:-
