Issue - meetings

RESOLVED:

1.    That Cabinet approves the Outline Business Case for the future re-procurement of the Waste Treatment and Disposal Services to inform the development of a Detailed Procurement Strategy.

2.    That Cabinet delegates authority of approval of the final procurement route to market for  services from 2024 to the Cabinet Member for Property and Waste, in consultation with the Executive Director for Environment, Transport and Infrastructure. 

Reasons for Decisions:

Approval of the OBC is critical to enable the Council to continue to deliver its statutory duty seamlessly beyond September 2024. This will also be instrumental in designing the services to both maximise value for money and contribute to Surrey’s ambitious environmental targets. 

(The decisions on this item can be called-in by the Communities, Environment and Highways Select Committee)

The report was introduced by the Cabinet Member for Property and Waste who explained that the item proposes a future model for the delivery of waste following considerable work undertaken on the outline business case presented within the report. As the report indicated, the situation with respect to the gasifier on the Eco park at Shepperton remains unclear. The facility was operational and had been accepted by the independent certifier. However, there was an outstanding dispute with Suez over the delivery of facilities at the Eco park. The council was working to find the best resolution possible and a further update on this would be brought to cabinet in the autumn.
