7 sites have been identified for housing
development opportunities (see ORDS sheet in delegated
report).
Planning approval for new housing has been achieved on all of the
sites.
The intention is to demolish ahead of appointing the new build
contractors all to ensure firstly they are emptied in good time for
development and that they do not attract anti-social behaviour
whilst the new build contractors are being procured.

Minutes of the meeting held on 21 September 2021 were agreed by Members present and signed by the Chair.
The Council are looking to purchase 32 Light
Commercial Vehicles (Vehicle with a gross vehicle weight of no more
than 4.5 metric tonnes) over the next 4 years:
21-22 – 19 LCVs (these are likely to roll in 22-23 due to
current lead times)
22-23 – 6 LCVs
24-25 – 2 LCVs
25-26 – 5 LCVs
Over the last few years, the Council have been looking to
standardise the fleet which brings a number of benefits including
familiarity of vehicles, reduced parts inventory and closer
relationships with manufacturers and dealerships. The Council have
already awarded long term agreements for refuse vehicles and
sweepers and are now looking to extend this to the purchase of
Light Commercial Vehicles.
The Council have looked at a number of procurement options and have
identified the TPPL Framework Agreement which is a framework that
covers fleet requirements from passenger vehicles up to 12.5t
Commercial Vehicles. Lot 2 of the agreement covers Light and Medium
Commercial Vehicles up to 12.5t and includes 20 suppliers and main
dealerships.
As part of the framework tender process, bidders were evaluated on
70% cost and 30% quality. Successful companies were then ranked on
the agreement from 1-20. Ford are current ranked number 1 meaning
the Council are able to carry out a direct award appointment
without the need to go through a lengthy tender process.
The Council’s Transport Manager has also held a number of
discussions with Ford and he is satisfied that Ford can supply
vehicles to our requirements over the next 4 years.
On this basis, the Council will carry out the direct award on the
framework agreement to Ford.

The Council’s Environmental and
Community Protection department is increasingly involved in the
time-consuming management of more complex and wide ranging
environmental cases such as fly tipping, commercial waste, illegal
burning and abandoned vehicles. This doesn’t leave sufficient
resources for a sustained high visibility presence on observational
offences such as Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPO) and
littering enforcement that is required to effect ongoing
behavioural change.
In November 2020, the Council obtained approval to enter into a
short term pilot contract with a specialist contractor to deliver
Public Spaces Protection Order and Littering Enforcement in the
borough.
The Council have carried out an open market tender process which
has been advertised on both the local and national portal. Bidders
were evaluated against previous experience, service delivery and
costs and out of the 4 tenders received, District Enforcement Ltd
scored highest by demonstrating their experience and ability to
deliver the contract to a high standard.
This contract is for 12 months however there is an option to extend
the agreement for a further 4 years. As part of the 12 months, the
Council will obtain management information to support the decision
on whether to continue with the contract or not.
