To consider the Head of Housing and Environment’s report.

Cabinet received the Waste Transfer Station Contract Award report from the head of housing and environment. The report sought approval of the award of contract to the preferred bidder.

The cabinet member for environmental services and waste presented the report, outlining that the Culham depot was scheduled to close for redevelopment. As a result, the procurement process identified a suitable location for the new waste transfer station, which was necessary to ensure that the Council continues to meet its statutory duty to collect waste a recycling. It was proposed that the new transfer facility would be operational by June 2026, coinciding with the timeline for the Culham depot closure. Cabinet was asked to approve the award of the contract for the new facility.

RESOLVED: That Cabinet approves the award of the contract for a new transfer station facility to handle the council’s dry mixed recycling (DMR) to the preferred bidder. The contract would run for a minimum of five years, starting in June 2026.
