Purpose: The Joint Waste Service provides a subscription-based garden waste service to the residents of both Lichfield and Tamworth. A sticker (permit) is issued to subscribing residents, which must be attached to their garden waste bin to confirm eligibility for collection.   The Council does not have the in-house capability to print and post the stickers, so this function is contracted to an external supplier.   A competitive tender was undertaken, resulting in six compliant bids. These were evaluated and moderated in accordance with procurement regulations.   PermiServ Limited has been identified as the most economically advantageous supplier for the provision of garden waste subscription stickers.
