8. Procurement: Residential Glass and Kerbside Recycling
Resolution: Moved by Mayor Teresa Harding:
8. Procurement: Residential Glass and Kerbside Recycling
This is a report concerning Residential Glass and Kerbside Recycling Services (yellow top bin).
This report recommends that Council approve the direct negotiation with the Trustee for Southern Paper Converters Trust t/a Visy Recycling Pty Ltd pursuant to section 235(b) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 ( Regulation ), because of the specialised nature of the services that are sought, it would be impractical to invite tenders for the provision of Residential Glass and Kerbside Recycling Services.
Council seeks approval to negotiate directly on price and service outcome and believe that they can drive a better value outcome from the supplier. Commercial-in-confidence ( CIC ) details have been included in Attachment 1 regarding the previous tender process that resulted in the current contracting arrangements. For these reasons, we recommend the CIC attachment, remains confidential, as it would inform the supplier of the budgetary amount available to Council and would impact on those negotiations. A secondary paper with a contract award recommendation will progress to council upon negotiation and agreement with the Trustee for Southern Paper Converters Trust t/a Visy Recycling prior to the contract expiry of 28 February 2022.
“The attachment/s to this report are confidential in accordance with section 275(1)(g) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 .”

B. That Council enter into a contractual arrangement (Council file reference number 17351) for Residential Glass and Kerbside Recycling Services with the Trustee for Southern Paper Converters Trust t/a Visy Recycling , for the value as set out in confidential Attachment 1, for an initial term of two (2) years and four (4) months, with an option at Council’s discretion, to extend the contractual arrangement for an additional two (2) x one (1) year terms .
C. That pursuant to Section 257(1)(b) of the Local Government Act 2009 , Council resolve to delegate to the Chief Executive Officer the power to take “ contractual action” pursuant to section 238 of the Regulation, in order to implement Council’s decision.
