- Published justification
a) In making this modification the above conditions of Regulation 32 (2b) (ii) are deemed to be satisfied for the following reasons:
(i) HW Martin already have a contract with the Council until 2025 and it does not make economic nor technical sense to engage with another supplier for the 2 + 2 year trial period. When clear financial savings and carbon reductions can be realised immediately.
(ii) The Council would need to be compliant with regards to the collection requirements from March 2026. By awarding a contract, the Council becomes compliant in readiness for the date implementation mandated by legislation.
(iii) Any other disposal point would have to have spare capacity available to take the waste, in addition to alternative disposal points would need to be modelled extensively which may increase costs in terms of extra Officer time, vehicles, crews and other costs to the Council. The process of carrying out a contract tender process would also cause significant inconvenience and duplication of costs when provision can be obtained from the incumbent provider.
(iv) To fully assess the implications of the changes required by the Council while looking at any funding opportunities arising from EPR. This trial enables the Council to do that at no cost and furthermore, at a saving.
- Review procedure
The authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further information from the contracting authority before the contract is entered into.
Such additional information should be requested from the addressee found in I.1. If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No 102) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought promptly (within 30 days beginning with the date when the economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for such action had arisen).
Where a contract has not been entered into the court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the authority to amend any document and may award damages. Following the correct implementation of a 10 day standstill period and publication of appropriate notices the court may only award damages once the contract has been entered into.
