Notice of proposed decision first published: 21/04/2017

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
This item needs to be brought to the Cabinet for a decision at its May 2017 meeting (a) in order to take advantage of the supplier's current purchase price quotation before its expiry date and (b) in view of the age of the vehicles which need to be replaced and the fact of a six-month lead-in for supplying the replacement vehicles once the order is placed.

Explanation of anticipated restriction:
The report seeks the approval by the Cabinet to award a contract to Supplier D for the purchase of two x 26 tonne (Gross Vehicle Weight) refuse collection vehicles at a total cost of £317,566 excluding VAT (chassis/body and bin lifter) funded from the Asset Replacement Reserve.

The reason that this item is a key decision is that the purchase of the vehicles will incur expenditure of greater than £100,000.

Decision due: 9 May 2017 by Cabinet
