within the fishermen’s working
area.
I can confirm that, despite non-compliance with the requirement to
seek at least three quotes, the award of this contract to the above
supplier will be best value for the Council for the following
reason(s):
Oltco have been awarded by the Marine Management Organisation to
supply this resin bound walkway as part of the grant funding
ENGFaSS2939 and as such have undergone the MMOs procurement process
which is in line with the councils own procurement process. Oltco
are the only supplier of resin bound surfaces that utilise waste
plastic made from recycled fishing waste from vessels in the south
west including those in Ilfracombe Harbour. This material is
suitable for heavy artic lorries and has a 20 year minimum
guarantee.
