Mr Summers has been chosen as Ukip's prospective candidate for Labour councillor Mr Collins' St Ann's ward.
He has previously accused Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County Councils of destroying records which he thinks would prove he suffered sexual abuse in local care homes in the 1960s.
Both councils have said they cannot find them and insist they are co-operating with a police investigation.
So far, there have been nine arrests under Operation Daybreak, which has received more than 120 reports of historical abuse in the county.
Mr Summers said: "We are pushing for a full independent public inquiry. Only after this will the victims get closure.
"At the moment, I can only fight my case but I want to stand up for all the people out there who feel like their voices have not been heard."
Mr Summers, who lives in Clifton, wants an independent inquiry into historical abuse to be launched immediately.
Nottinghamshire Police has said steps are being taken to prepare for an inquiry, working alongside both councils to gather historical data.
A police spokeswoman said: "The force has advised that some elements of the review process should be carried out at the conclusion of the police investigation due to concerns not to undermine investigations and potential prosecutions by disclosing witness and victim accounts, and other information."
Mr Summers has also helped launch Nottingham CSA Inquiry Group, which is campaigning for a public inquiry.
He has staged protests in Old Market Square and outside the city council's offices.
And he is currently only able to visit Loxley House on an appointment-only basis as the council claims his behaviour has "impacted unacceptably on members of staff and the public".
If he is elected, the council says, it would have to "re-assess the arrangements".
Mr Summers said: "One of my main policies will be to help uncover the truth.
"The only way we can do that is from within."
Mr Collins would not comment on Mr Summers' case against the council.
He said: "Anybody is entitled to stand anywhere they like in the city. It's a local election."
In 2011, Labour took all three of the seats in St Ann's with more than 75 per cent of the vote.
Ukip's Fran Loi, who is standing against Labour MP Chris Leslie in the general election for Nottingham East, confirmed Mr Summers was Ukip's intended candidate.
He said: "We have been helping the victims of child abuse for quite some time."
Ukip is insisting he is not a single-issue candidate and Mr Summers is currently drawing up his personal manifesto.
"I want to see wholesale regeneration of the area," he said.
"And I'm supporting the re-introduction of grammar schools, creating opportunities for young people and avoiding cuts which lead to job losses."
Please vote tactically to ensure Jon Collins loses his seat
