Cabinet considered a report seeking approval to procure a 15 year contract for the thermal treatment of Lancashire's residual waste from 2025, providing a better environmental solution for the county and potentially reducing costs.

Resolved: That:

i  The procurement of a contract for the treatment of residual waste in Lancashire from 2025 on the basis outlined in the report be approved.

ii  The Head of Service for Waste, in liaison with Procurement and Legal services, be authorised to make any appropriate amendments to the proposed contract during the procurement process to ensure that the council achieves the best financial and environmental outcome from the procurement exercise insofar that the basic principles of what is to be procured as outlined in the report are not significantly changed.

iii  The Chief Executive and Director of Resources be requested to arrange for county councillors to be provided with 'bite size' briefings on the subject matter as appropriate.
