Decision details

To seek authority to extend the latest landfill Contracts up to 31 March 2016, in order to allow a full Tender Process to be undertaken for a new Waste treatment and/or final disposal contract.  The contracts to be extended are:

Extension to the Contract for Waste Treatment and Final Disposal (Landfill)    2011-2013 – Viridor.  Ref WTFD 10/23.

Extension to the Contract for Waste treatment and Final disposal (landfill)

Biffa.  Ref WTFD 10/23.

Extension to the Contract for Waste Treatment and Final Disposal (Landfill) – Veolia.  Ref WTFD 10/23

Not taking this decision to extend is detrimental to the Council’s business as KCC has a statutory responsibility to dispose of all types of waste.

As Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport I agree to the extension of the existing Landfill Contracts for an interim period up to 31 March 2016. This is to allow officers to commission appropriately to deliver reduced final disposal to landfill targets.
