        "description": "Arun's Combined Cleansing Services Contract (CCSC) includes the delivery of residential waste collections comprising of weekly kerbside residual collection from sacks, a fortnightly dry mixed kerbside recycling collection and a fortnightly subscriber-based garden waste collection service. \nThe contract also provides street cleansing services comprising litter collection, litter and dog bin collection, street sweeping and public convenience cleaning. \nThe current 3+3 year contract commenced in 2017 is currently operated by Biffa and is due to expire on 31 January 2023. The annual cost of the contract has varied over the duration. The current annual cost of the contract is £5.82 million. The total contract value over the 3+3 duration is £32,650,000.\nThis VEAT notice is for the award of a three-year contract extension with modifications from the 1st February 2023 at an annual cost of £7.33  million, which will be subject to indexation. \nThere is provision within the extension period to move to an alternate weekly/three weekly residual collection service, with the introduction of a weekly food waste collection (subject to committee approval and  subject to confirmed government position (section 57 of the Environment Act 2021 amends section 45A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to include a new requirement on Waste Collection Authorities (WCAs) to collect food waste from households on a weekly basis. Commencement regulations will bring this requirement into force in due course) Additional information: 1. The contract is being modified by a 3 year extension and may be modified further with a reduced residual frequency/addition of weekly food waste collection. \n2. Food waste collections were included in the original procurement for this contract with bidders invited to provide pricing and other information. Although this option was not taken up initially its inclusion does permit the contract to now be modified to include these collections under Regulation 72(1)(a). The decision on this shall be subject to Committee approval.  \n3. The extension of the contract for delivery of the existing services is permissible under Regulation 72(1)(e) in that it is not considered a substantial modification within the meaning of the Regulations.\n4. A modification is not substantial within the meaning of the Regulations where:\na) It does not render the contract materially different in character. In this instance although there is potential for a small revision to the way in which the services are delivered (i.e. collection frequency), the services remain essentially the same and therefore the contract is not materially different. \nb) It does not introduce conditions which would have allowed for the admission or acceptance of other candidates or tender, or, would have attracted additional participants. While it is impossible to say for certain that no other party would have been interested had they been aware of the potential for a longer contract length this is a relatively specialised and small market so one can posit that this would be highly unlikely. As the services remain essentially unchanged the extension alone would not have allowed for the acceptance or admission of other candidates. \nc) It does not change the economic balance of the contract in favour of the contractor in a way not provided for in the contract. In this instance while changes to collection Page 18 frequency may result in a small increase in the price paid to the contract this is relatively minimal in the context of the overall contract value and is attributable to additional costs incurred by the contractor for making those changes. \nd) It does not considerably extend the scope of the contract. As stated above, in this instance the services remain essentially the same so there is no alteration to the contract scope. \n5. Therefore, the modification to extend the current contract for an additional three years is permissible under Regulation 72(1)(e)."
