Challenges in procuring for future legislative changes: How to build a resilient service
Waste managers in Local Authorities need to be aware of how imminent reforms could impact their arrangements with private sector suppliers – and how best to cope with change.
This webinar will cover how best to enter into fresh contracts or vary existing contracts with waste-management companies in light of any new Collection and Packaging Reforms (CPR) legislation, without breaking public contracts regulations (PCRs) – the procurement rules which govern how public sector bodies must enter into contracts for the purchase of goods, services (including the procurement of waste services) or construction works.
The webinar will also offer ideas of how the public sector and its waste contractors can work collaboratively to find solutions.
Facilitated by the CIWM Midlands Centre, this takes place on Monday 20th November from 12:00pm - 13:00pm. You can register here.
Panellists:
Kirstin Roberts - Freeths (Host)
Shireen Eliyas - Freeths (Complaint variation of contracts under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015)
Jacqui Ager - London Borough of Havering (Case Study of Challenges in procuring for future legislative changes: How to build a resilient service).
