Purpose:

Content: 1.    Approve the joint procurement of food waste caddies in partnership with nine Lancashire districts, led by Blackburn with Darwen Council. 2.    Approve a change in the tender evaluation to a 60% price and 40% quality ratio, including 5% for social value, to be procured through a direct award from the ESPO framework.
