Decision:

To award a 4 year agreement to Greenshields JCB Limited to supply 2 Commercial Loading Shovels and 2 Large Wheeled Telescopic Loaders over the next 4 years.

Alternative options considered:

The current machinery is in need of replacement. The Council could run the machines on however this would increase the time the machines are off the road and increase the revenue implications for repairs. On that basis, replacing the machines are the best option.
