Decision details

Approval of the Collaborative Agreement with North Herts District Council for the Shared Waste service contract Procurement

Decision Maker: Head of Operations

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

East and North Herts District Councils are embarking on a new tender for the shared waste contract. In order to protect the interests of both parties and clarify roles and responsibilities an updated interim agreement (now known as the Collaborative Agreement) has been developed for the duration of the procurement period. This document has now been completed with contributions from a number of officers.

Decision:

To approve/sign the Collaboration Agreement with North Herts District Council for the Shared Waste Service contract procurement

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - extend the current Inter Authority Agreement (IAA). Given the clear separation between current working arrangements for day to day services and the additional duties required for the procurement process the legal advice suggested a separate collaboration agreement was the best course of action.
