Confidential Items
RESOLVED ON THE MOTION OF COUNCILLOR MCINTOSH, seconded by
COUNCILLOR BALL,
THAT Council move into Confidential Session to discuss Item
6. CE2/26 FOOD ORGANICS COLLECTION SERVICES TENDER.
FOR:

Ball, Conley, Greenwood, McClelland, McIntosh, McSweeney, Seaglove, Simons,

AGAINST: Nil
|
6 CE2/26 Food
Organics Collection Services Tender
This report was dealt with in confidential session,
under Section 10A (2) (d) of the Local Government Act, 1993. This report
contains commercial information of a confidential nature that would, if
disclosed (i) prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied
it; or (ii) confer a commercial advantage on a competitor of the council; or
(iii) reveal a trade secret. (This Report is considered confidential under
Section 10A(2)(d)(i) of the Local Government Act as it contains information
of a confidential nature that would, if disclosed prejudice the commercial
position of the person who supplied it.
Discussion of the matter in an open Meeting would, on balance, be contrary to
the public interest because the Report contains information provided by
tenderers which includes sensitive information about their business
operations, methodologies and costs. The publication of such
information could result in the withholding of similar information by
potential tenderers in future, therefore limiting Council’s ability to
make an informed decision about future tenders. )

RESOLVED ON THE MOTION OF COUNCILLOR SIMONS,
seconded by COUNCILLOR MCINTOSH,
THAT:
1. The
contents of the Confidential Director’s Report No. CE2/26,
incorporating the Confidential Tender Evaluation Report for RFT 10/2025 (RFT)
– Food Organics Collection Services, and the attached Probity Report,
be received and noted by Council.
2. Council:
a) In
accordance with s. 178 (1) (b) of the Local Government (General)
Regulation 2021 (NSW) (Regulation), to decline to accept any of the
tenders submitted with respect to the proposed contract for Food Organics
Collection Services; and
b) In
accordance with s. 178 (3) (e) of the Regulation, resolves to enter into
negotiations with any persons (whether or not the person was a tenderer).
Specifically, negotiations with the persons identified for that purpose in
the Report as Nominated Persons, in respect of the food organics collection
services, and in the manner described in the Report, with a view to entering
into a contract for the services relating to the subject matter of food
organics collection services (for an initial services term of 10 years with
extensions as detailed in the contract), as included in the RFT;
3. Council,
in accordance with s. 178 (4)(a) of the Regulation, notes that the reasons
for Council declining to invite fresh tenders or applications as referred to
in s. 178(3)(b)-(d) of the Regulation, is that:
a) It
is not expected that further market testing will provide a more satisfactory
result; and
b) It
is anticipated that a satisfactory result can be achieved through negotiating
with one or more of the Nominated Persons in the manner described in the Tender
Evaluation Report.
4. Council,
in accordance with s. 178 (4)(b) of the Regulation, notes that the reason for Council
determining to enter into negotiations with the Nominated Persons, is that:
a) Council
is satisfied that each of the Nominated Persons would be capable of
undertaking the relevant services, pending conditions being achieved, as
nominated in the Tender Evaluation Report; and
b) It
is anticipated that a satisfactory outcome can be achieved through
negotiations with one or more of the Nominated Persons.
5. All
tenderers are notified as appropriate that no tenders for Food Organics
Collection Services were accepted.
6. Council
delegate authority to the acting General Manager (or authorised delegate):
a) To
directly negotiate with one or more of the Nominated Persons in the manner
described in the Tender Evaluation Report, for the purpose of entering into a
contract in relation to the Food Organics Collection Services RFT; and
b) At
the completion of negotiations, return a report to Council for acceptance by
further resolution.
