WQ.79/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY C.D . CURTIS OF ST. HELIER CENTRAL
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 11th MARCH 2024 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 18th MARCH 2024
Question
“Further to Written Question 19/2024, will the Minister state whether, in the event the current tender process for operation of the re-use centre has not been successfully completed by April 2024, he will look into the feasibility of the centre being operated by Government of Jersey employees (as agreed by the Assembly in P.65/2023, as amended)?”
Answer
Further to the response to Written Question 19/2024, the department has reviewed the tender documents and decided to include a wider communication with the charity sector to identify other potential operators that may be in a position to operate the site to its fullest potential. Due to expanding the potential interest in tendering, this has consequently pushed the timetable for tender outcomes to May/June to allow all interested parties sufficient time to submit a tender and consider their operating model for this facility.
If a suitable operator is not identified during the tender process, it is still the intention to look at the feasibility of operating the site with Government employees. However, this would require additional staffing and funding to be able to safely run the Household Reuse and Recycling Centre site plus this facility, which is not currently allocated for in the Government Plan.
