Description of the procurement

The Service includes the management of HWRCs operated by or on behalf of the Council which would provide facilities for residents of the Council’s administrative area to deposit Household Waste inline with s.51 Environmental Protection Act 1990. The Council wishes to emphasise the waste hierarchy, specifically the need for a more comprehensive re-use and repair element of the Council’s required waste management Service than is currently available.
The Contractor shall manage the Sites in accordance with applicable Laws and the Waste Management Licenses for the Sites issued by the Environment Agency. The contract duration is 5 years with a potential 2 year extension, however it is worth stating that the Council is planning to insource the Front Facing Service by 28 October 2026.
The Council wish to make a capital contribution for some elements of the site infrastructure (cabins, skips, ramps, 360 plant) that will transfer to the Council on the Insourcing Date (28 October 2026).
The Council expects the Waste Management Licenses to be transferred to the Contractor (from the incumbent service provider which presently provide a service similar to the Front Facing Service requirement advertised here for the Council) on completing the Contract following this procurement exercise. During the transition from the Contractor to the Council it is the Council’s intention to move to Standard Rules Environmental Permits for each of the Sites to substitute for the Waste Management Licenses. Should there by any delay in obtaining the Standard Rules Environmental Permits the Council may require the Contractor to continue providing the Front Facing Service inline with the Contract Terms.
The Contractor shall manage the Sites in a safe and cost effective manner, whilst prioritising and maximising the potential for re-use, repair, reclamation and recycling of Household Waste(s).
The Contractor shall manage the transport, recycling and disposal of Household Waste deposited at the Sites (including residual and garden waste streams where disposal shall be dealt with by the Council) for the full Contract Term.
The Council requires haulage services that operate in compliance with local planning conditions, operating permits/rules for the Sites and when accessing any offtaker disposal sites and applicable Laws (especially Laws concerning the environment and transport) for the full Contract Term.
A partnership approach to a re-use and repair arrangement is sought by the Council which is expected to be self-funding and any surplus revenue beyond covering the Contractor’s costs in providing re-use and repair capacity shall be used to reinvest in that element of the Service.
