I DECLARATION OF INTEREST

There were no declarations of interest.

II CONTRACT FOR THE TREATMENT OF FOOD WASTE

There was submitted Agenda Note AN23-2021 advising the Committee that following the expiration of the existing contract for the treatment of food waste, it was necessary to undertake a procurement exercise to secure a contractor to accept this material from September, 2021.

Food waste was collected from householders and transported to the transfer station at Marchbanks. Collection vehicles tip into a specifically designed skip for bulking. The containers once full were hauled using Council skip vehicles for onward transfer and treatment.

The Scotland Excel Framework Treatment of Organic Waste Services 02-20 was utilised for the treatment for food wastes collected separately. Corporate procurement had advised that a direct award could be made via the framework under Lot 1 - food waste.

The Committee agreed that Energen Biogas Ltd, be awarded the contract as the nearest supplier and treatment facility, located at Glenfarg, Perthshire, to minimise the haulage costs. The contract would endure for a period of two years with a twelve-month extension period option.

The cost of food waste treatment based on the forecasted tonnages over this period was 146,367. These costs would be funded from the Neighbourhood Services waste management revenue budget.
