Ireland,United Kingdom : VEOLIA to sign SOUTHEND contract

Publish Date : 31-Mar-2015

Southend-on-Sea borough council announced the selection of Veolia as the preferred bidder for its new recycling and waste collections contract, after receiving approval from the councillors at a meeting. The contract is expected to be commencing in October 2015 and will see the contractor executing services such as street cleaning and graffiti removal from existing contractor Cory, which has held the contract since 1990.

The council’s long term contractor Cory dropped out of the running to renew the deal in August, after having not been successful in the first pre-qualification stage of the procurement process.
“Veolia has committed to further improving upon our recycling rates, maintaining weekly collections, delivering a first-class service to our residents and businesses, maintaining an attractive street scene across the Borough and providing the best possible value for council tax-payers’ money by delivering significant savings. Residents can also be assured that services will remain uninterrupted,” said councillor Martin Terry, Southend’s executive councillor for public protection, waste and transport.

Terry added, “To deliver savings, whilst getting an expanded and improved service cannot be underestimated in a time of on-going central Government cuts. It is also important to add that staff working for our current contractor, Cory Environmental, will transfer to the new contractor, therefore protecting local employment.”

“We are extremely pleased to be announced as preferred bidder and are looking forward to working in partnership with Southend-on-Sea Borough Council to deliver increased recycling rates and high quality services for all residents,” said Estelle Brachlianoff, Veolia’s senior executive vice president UK and Ireland.
