Report of the Director of the Built Environment.

The Committee considered a report of the Director of the Built Environment regarding the London-Wide Hazardous Waste Collection and Disposal Service. Members were advised that the current five-year contract commenced on 1 October 2010 and included an option to extend. The report sought approval for a five-year extension to this contract.

In response to a Member’s question, the Assistant Cleansing Director advised that being the lead authority for the Service came at no cost to the City of London Corporation. He added that this contract provided a London-wide service that would otherwise be too fragmented and inefficient that being the lead authority was seen as a good opportunity for the City.

RESOLVED – That:-

a)    The City of London Corporation continue to act as lead authority for the provision of a London-Wide Hazardous Waste Collection and Disposal Service; and

b)    A formal agreement with PHS Waste Management for a five-year extension to the existing contract be approved, subject to such amendments as may be agreed by the Comptroller and City Solicitor and to the participating Borough’s agreement of the contract extension.
