          The Board considered a report of the Executive Director – Environment and Regeneration, which advised that the aggregate value of the proposed contract for the provision of commercial vehicle and plant components was projected to be in excess of £1m.

          The existing contract would come to an end on 8 August 2023 and it was proposed that any new contract arrangements should provide for a greater level of flexibility and allow the Council at any time, to be able to choose to place orders with other suppliers. It was proposed that the new arrangements would be for a 5 year period with the potential for up to 5 one year extensions (10 years in total), subject to satisfactory performance and pricing agreement.

          RESOLVED: That

1)    the procurement of a new contract for commercial vehicle and plant components be approved; and

2)    the Operational Director – Planning, Policy and Transportation, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder Environment and Urban Renewal, be delegated to deal with any matters relating to procurement and operation of this contract.
