Decision details

Before the Committee was a report by the Director for Housing and Communities, copies of which had been circulated to all Members and a copy of which is attached to the signed copy of these minutes as Item 12.

The report informed members collection of clinical waste from households is a statutory duty for the District and Borough as the waste collection authority. It was a specialist service which was contracted out to a private contractor Medisort in April 2023. This was done through a framework with West Sussex County Council. That contract was up for renewal from April 2025. Working with the district and boroughs, the county council had led on the re-procurement of the service.

Decision:

1)    That the contents of the report be noted

2)    That authority be delegated to the Director for Sustainability and Resources, in consultation with the Adur Cabinet Member for Finance and Resources and Worthing Cabinet Member for Resources, to enter into a contract for the collection of clinical waste from households in Adur and Worthing.

Call In: The call-in deadline for decisions will be 5.00pm on 18 March 2025
