Decision details

Purchase of 2 x 3.5T mini sweepers

Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Waste, Recycling and Street Services

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Decision:

To purchase: 2x 5.5T mini sweepers at a total cost of £149,330.

Reasons for the decision:

The vehicles form that part of the Ubico fleet that is old and beyond economical repair. Replacement mini sweepers are required to continue to deliver the service and avoid vehicle hire costs negatively impacting on the revenue budget.

 

A procurement exercise utilising the TPPL Purchase Framework was carried out and 8 tender responses were invited, however, only 4 compliant tender responses were received. The successful bidder submitted the second lowest price, however, scored highest when considering price and quality.

 

This will be funded from within the existing capital budget provision for 2019/20.

Alternative options considered:

Officers have considered whether the service could continue to be delivered without this vehicle and concluded that it could not.

Other reasons / organisations consulted

Officers and the cabinet member agree there is a need to procure the vehicles.

Consultees

Internal consultation has taken place. The Cabinet Member, Clean and Green Environment has also been consulted.
