NORTH YORKSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL

Access to Information Procedure Rule 4

NOTICE OF PRIVATE ITEM

<AI1>

Procurement of Suppliers for the Acceptance and Processing of Garden Waste

The County Council’s Constitution provides that at least 28 clear days before a private meeting (a meeting, or part of a meeting, of the executive decision making body during which the public are excluded) the executive decision-making body must give notice of its intention to hold the meeting in private (including a statement of the reasons for holding it in private) by making the notice available at County Hall and at the venue for the meeting (if different) and publishing it on the Council’s website.

The Constitution further provides that at least five clear days before a private meeting, the executive decision making body must give further notice of its intention to hold the meeting in private including:

· a statement of the reasons for holding it in private;

· details of any representations received about why the meeting should be open to the public; and

· a statement of its response to any such representations

by making the notice available at County Hall and at the venue for the meeting (if different) and publishing it on the Council’s website

It is anticipated that on 26 January 2024 a report seeking approval for a procurement to be undertaken to establish new contracts for new green waste processing points for Craven, Ryedale, Scarborough and Selby localities, will be considered by Corporate Director of Environment. The intention to make this key decision is published on the Forward Plan.

The existing contracts are due to expire within the next 12 months for Ryedale, Scarborough and Selby localities, so a procurement is required to establish new contracts from 1 June 2024. Craven green waste is currently processed by Yorwaste, as part of the Teckal Services Contract. However, Yorwaste have been unable to source processing points within Craven locality, so the green waste is bulked up and transported to Harewood Whin (Rufforth, York) or Tancred (Catterick Bridge).

The report is likely to contain exempt information. The information anticipated to be contained in the report is of the type defined in paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 (Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information) ) and it is considered that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information. This part of the meeting may therefore be held in private.

A notice giving the required 28 days’ notice of the intention to hold part of the Environment decision meeting on 26 January 2024 in private was published on 29 November 2023 and confirmed that any representations as to why this part of the meeting should be held in public should be sent to:

To date, no representations have been received as to why this part of the meeting should be held in public.

It is therefore intended that this matter shall be considered in private by the Corporate Director of Environment on 26 January 2024 for the reasons set out earlier in this notice.
