Waste disposal and treatment services supplier event

Description

The Council will soon be seeking to enter into a long term contract(s) for disposal/treatment services for its residual waste, dry mixed recyclates, streets and gulley sweepings, bulky and ad hoc wastes. Taking into consideration the potential changes to collection methodologies as a result of the Environment Act, the council plans to split the procurement into a number of lots. The two procurements may be combined into a single procurement with 5 lots but that has not yet been determined. Transfer • Lot 1 – Provision of a Waste Transfer Station (Gate Fee) • Lot 2 – Provision of a Waste Transfer Station (Design, Build Operate and Maintain (DBOM)). Disposal • Lot 1 – Residual Waste Disposal inclusive of Food Waste, with the anticipated change of food waste taken out • Lot 2 – Food Waste Collection (potentially on a framework to call off as needed) • Lot 3 – Dry Mixed Recylates (co mingled) with the anticipated change to move to twin stream collection Lot 1: The services include: • Transfer The Council is seeking transfer services and will consider both capacity in existing facilities or the construction and operation of a new facility. Construction might be by the Council or the contractor (on a design, build, operate and maintain (DBOM) basis) and a range of funding options considered. At present the Council has not identified a suitable site in its area on which the Council is capable of securing planning and so would require the contractor to provide a site for a DBOM solution. Both a simple gate fee provision and the DBOM option will be explored at the early stages of the procurement and the Council may progress with either. • Disposal Waste haulage and associated logistics from the transfer station to the treatment facilities for all Council delivered waste and recyclates.
