Case reference FOI2022/01804
Published 15 December 2022
Request
Would you please provide the following:
1. Whether the council has a written policy, strategy, practice, order, direction or other document which sets out your policy on the procurement of refuse collection vehicles.
If the answer is affirmative, please provide a copy.
If the provider is an outsourced company please provide the relevant contact details for the provider.
Example response: X Borough council procures all of its vehicles through a purchasing framework to ensure fair competition and compliance. The Waste Fleet vehicles are on a seven year cycle on the vehicle capital replacement programme and are all owned apart from the two vehicles that collect Food Waste.
2. Please complete the attached, in as much detail as possible, for each of the refuse collection vehicles currently in control of and procured by the council and in operation in your local authority.
Response
In response to the above questions, Herefordshire Council does not procure refuse collection vehicles. This is carried out by our waste collection contractor FCC Environment (UK) Ltd.
The contact details for the provider are: jonathan.towne@fccenvironment.co.uk
If you are a company intending to use the names and contact details of contractors provided in this response for direct marketing, you must be registered with the Information Commissioner to process personal data for this purpose. You must also check that the individual (whom you wish to contact for direct marketing purposes) is not registered with one of the preference services to prevent direct marketing. If they are you must adhere to this preference. You must also ensure you comply with the Privacy Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). For more information see www.ico.org.uk
For the avoidance of doubt, the provision of individual names and contact details under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 does not give consent to receive direct marketing via any media and expressly does not constitute a 'soft opt-in' under PECR.
