The Executive Member considered a report, which provided details of the procurement for the replacement of 4 hook lift gritting vehicles and 1 bulk tipping vehicle. The report asked the Executive Member to approve the outcome of the evaluation process so that a purchase order could be made and the vehicles ordered.

The Assistant Director, Environmental Services, Neighbourhood Services, presented the report and highlighted the need to replace vehicles for winter maintenance. It was noted that the previous contract with the Defence Support Group (DSG) had come to an end and that, after seeking advice from Procurement, tenders had been sought through the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) Framework. The tenders were evaluated using the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT) analysis.

In response to a question from the Executive Member, the officer confirmed that a review of the whole transportation unit would be brought to the Executive Member at a future meeting.
