The Chair introduced the item to the meeting and invited officers to raise any points about the report.

It was commented that this procurement would give the County Council greater control over the service than is currently the case. The Chair noted the length of the contract gave a future unitary council(s) flexibility when the County Council ceased to be in existence, in whether to continue the contract or forge their own path.

The Chair commented that two of the sites proposed were already closed but that the County Council had statutory obligations to clear leachate from the sites.

The Chair thanked officers and agreed to the recommendations in the report.

RESOLVED to:

a)  Approve procurement (up to 3 contracts) for the collection, transport and treatment of leachate generated from the following landfill sites:
