Decision details

Following changes to the water supply market which came into effect from 1 April 2017, the Cabinet will be asked to approve proposals regarding the procurement of a new contract for the provision of water services (supply, waste and ancillary services) to all corporate buildings and non-domestic supplies within the Council’s property portfolio.

The Cabinet resolved to:

(i)  Approve the Council’s participation in the mini-competition process, led by Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO), to identify and select a supplier to meet the Council’s retail water requirements with effect from April 2018, in accordance with the Council’s Contract Rules and the strategy set out in the report; and

(ii)  Authorise the Chief Operating Officer, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Finance, Growth and Investment and the Director of Law and Governance, to finalise any specific terms of the contract with the preferred bidder, award and enter into the call-off contract under the Framework Agreement, and do all things necessary to facilitate the execution, implementation and operation of the contract and an extension agreement(s).
