Terms of Reference

 

 

Responsibilities

 

The committee is established to assist the chief executive to undertake the management procedure of ensuring sound procurement processes are followed in relation to procurement of goods and services necessary to deliver on the work programme and operations outlined in the council’s adopted Annual plan.

 

It will ensure that reasonable purchasing procedures have been followed in awarding contracts and will provide an efficient mechanism for documenting the approvals for those contracts.

 

Within a framework where contracts are an operational matter delegated to the chief executive, this committee will consider all contracts beyond the chief executive’s financial delegations.  The chief executive may refer contracts within his financial delegations which are sensitive or may impact on the reputation of the council.

 

The chief executive has power to award contracts up to $20 million alone and the power to award contracts up to $22.5 million jointly with the mayor and Finance and Performance Committee chair.

 

The committee will have responsibility for:

 

·    awarding of contracts of $22.5 million or greater

·    awarding of contracts less than $22.5 million which are sensitive or may impact on the reputation of the council if the chief executive refers the matter to the committee

·    oversight over the procurement processes and procedures.

 

From time to time the committee may advise the chief executive and council on changes to the procurement and contracts probity procedures.

 

Powers

Update on Waiheke waste services procurement plan

File No.: CP2018/24752

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To provide an update on the Waiheke waste services procurement plan.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The current Waiheke waste contracts in place are set to expire on 30 June 2020.

3.       The scope of services for these contracts includes:

·     the collection of residential solid waste and inorganics

·     the collection of recyclables

·     the operation of the Waiheke waste transfer station and haulage of materials.

4.      A procurement plan for Waiheke waste services to commence from 1 July 2020 has been developed. Approval of this procurement plan will be sought as part of the confidential section of the 7 February 2019 Strategic Procurement Committee meeting

5.      Council’s approach to procuring these services will enable the local board to have a role in decision-making over waste services procurement for their community. This is aligned to the intent of the Waiheke Local Governance pilot, which aims to trial an increased level of devolved decision-making to the board.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendations

That the Strategic Procurement Committee:

a)      note the information contained in this report, on the Waiheke waste service procurement plan, enables transparency on the topic due for discussion in the public excluded part of the meeting.

b)      note that the confidential report contains information that could prejudice the council's position in negotiations with waste suppliers.

 

 

Horopaki

Context

6.       On 12 June 2018, the Environment and Community Committee adopted the Auckland Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2018: Working together for Zero Waste. 

7.       The Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2018 recognises the unique nature of the Hauraki Gulf Islands and their need for tailored approaches. Accordingly, the Tīkapa Moana Hauraki Gulf Islands Waste Plan was developed specifically for this region of Auckland and adopted as part of the overall waste plan.

8.       The main goals of the Tīkapa Moana Hauraki Gulf Island Waste Plan for Waiheke are around:

·     community engagement and behaviour change to reduce waste to landfill

·     increasing recycling and the reuse of materials on Waiheke

·     establishing a community recycling centre by 2020

·     ensuring all of Waiheke’s green and food waste is composted, using on-island solutions and maximising local economic development opportunities

·     reducing waste coming on to Waiheke

·     reducing commercial, construction and demolition waste to landfill

·     reducing visitor and boatie waste.

9.       Auckland Council provides various waste services contracts on Waiheke which are key to the goals of the Tīkapa Moana Hauraki Gulf Islands Waste Plan. These services include the following:

·     kerbside refuse collection

·     kerbside recycling collection

·     annual inorganic collection

·     illegal dumping services

·     throw’n’go bins collection at ferry points

·     summer waste barge

·     operation of the Waiheke waste transfer station and haulage.

10.     Waiheke has a history of proactive leadership around waste minimisation, which remains strong today. The diversion of waste to landfill was a primary driver during the eight years that waste was managed by a community-owned social enterprise on Waiheke. This has continued under the current supplier, Waste Management New Zealand Limited.

11.     The current supplier’s contract was awarded in 2009 for a period of ten years and was extended for one year for expiry on 30 June 2020. The contract’s scope of services includes:

·     the collection of residential solid waste and inorganics

·     the collection of recyclables

·     the operation of the Waiheke waste transfer station and haulage of materials.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

12.     Analysis and advice relating to the Waiheke waste services procurement plan will be presented in the confidential section of the 7 February 2019 Strategic Procurement Committee meeting.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

13.     Procurement of Waiheke waste collection services will impact on multiple council departments including Customer Services, Communications, Digital and Transformation, Commercial and Finance.

14.     To ensure the impacts and views of these departments are known and understood, an overarching project and team has been established for Waiheke waste services. This procurement forms a part of that project and involves representatives from each of these departments.  Other council departments and council controlled organisations are consulted as required.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe

Local impacts and local board views

Local impacts

15.     As identified through consultation on the waste plan, there is a desire for greater community management of waste on Waiheke. The council has provided a mentoring programme for community groups to improve capacity and capability in relation to waste services.

16.     Once new contracts are awarded, the Waiheke community will benefit from local economic development opportunities. An outcome of this procurement will be to ensure that waste services are put in place that will help to make Waiheke a cleaner and more attractive place to live in, ultimately contributing to the council’s vision of making Auckland a world-class city.

Local board views

17.     The Waiheke Local Board was consulted throughout development of the Tīkapa Moana Hauraki Gulf Islands Waste Plan.

18.     They also provided feedback on waste services during development of the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2018 through the following resolution: ‘that Auckland Council promote locally based service providers across all the waste streams that ensures on-island control of the full waste stream with community participation within the Waiheke local board area’ (resolution WHK/2018/16).

19.     Three workshops were held with the Waiheke Local Board regarding the procurement of Waiheke waste services on 5 April, 5 July and 27 September 2018. There are also monthly briefings between Waste Solutions and the board chair to ensure the board is informed of progress and the board’s views continue to be considered throughout the procurement process.

20.     The Waiheke Local Board governance pilot to trial an increased level of devolved decision-making to the board is currently underway. This is a three-year trial and formal changes to decision-making (with some case by case exceptions) will not be made until the trial is evaluated and reported back in 2021. In the interim, staff support enabling the board to have a role in decision-making over waste services procurement for their community.

21.     A more detailed update on how the Waiheke Local Board will have input into procurement of waste collection services will be presented in the confidential section of the 7 February 2019 Strategic Procurement Committee meeting.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

22.     Waste minimisation and the reuse of resources is of key significance to mana whenua in their role as kaitiaki of Tāmaki Makaurau’s natural environment.

23.     Mana whenua were consulted during the drafting of the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2018 and the Tīkapa Moana Hauraki Gulf Islands Waste Plan.

24.     The procurement approach for Waiheke waste services aims to give effect to the waste minimisation aspirations of mana whenua through aligning with their feedback on the waste plan. This feedback notes the importance to mana whenua of ‘waste minimisation and turning waste into resources’, and states that the council will ‘identify and progress waste-related opportunities with mana whenua in the islands’.
