The contract supports KCC’s Strategic Statement in the following ways:
· A whole life cost evaluation approach will ensure that value for money is attained;
· Local businesses will have an opportunity to bid for the contract; and
· The contract will be environmentally beneficial as the paper and card is 100% recyclable therefore avoiding waste to landfill.

A Market Engagement exercise will be undertaken as part of the procurement process – no customer engagement is required as this is a non-customer facing service.
This has been discussed at the Environment and Transport Cabinet Committee on 21 September 2017.
Financial implications: This is an income based contract. As the market value of this material fluctuates, the service will undertake an e-auction, to secure the best tender rates.
Legal implications: Provision of such disposal services is a legal obligation under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and other such legislation.
Equalities implications: An EQIA has been carried out and no equalities implications have been identified.
