The Provision of services for the Receipt, storage, bulking and transfer of Municipal Waste

Description

The Authority invites tenders for the short term provision of services relating to the acceptance, storage and bulk transfer of mixed residual waste from the Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council area to a nominated delivery point in the Mallusk area of Northern Ireland. Due to the nature of the Councils requirements there is a geographical area within which point of deposit for the Council waste must fall (this is detailed in the contract documents). In the event that the Contract is extended it is likely that the delivery point will change and there is also the possibility but no guarantee, that other material streams may also be included within its scope. The appointed Contractor will also be responsible for collating and reporting data and reporting performance relevant to the Contract. Lot 1: The Authority invites tenders for the short term provision of services relating to the acceptance, storage and bulk transfer of mixed residual waste from the Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council area to a nominated delivery point in the Mallusk area of Northern Ireland. Due to the nature of the Councils requirements there is a geographical area within which point of deposit for the Council waste must fall (this is detailed in the contract documents). In the event that the Contract is extended it is likely that the delivery point will change and there is also the possibility but no guarantee, that other material streams may also be included within its scope. The appointed Contractor will also be responsible for collating and reporting data and reporting performance relevant to the Contract. Additional information: The value included in sections II.1.7 and V.2.4 is the estimated value of the contract if the full term of the contract including extension was utilised 15 months. This has been prepared on the basis that: 1. The current residual waste streams being dealt with by the current haulage contractor continue for the full 15 months estimated volume 35,000 tonnes in total; 2. Some additional waste streams are added to the contract during the extended term of the contract estimated volume 7138 tonnes in total; 3. For the first three months of the contract the Initial Term and the first three months of the extended term, the current residual waste streams are to be hauled to the existing delivery point in the Mallusk area; and 4. If the term is further extended, the Nominated Treatment and /or Disposal Sites to which the contract waste is to be hauled may change and the Authority has based its calculation of the value of the contract on the basis that the new Nominated Treatment and/or Disposal Sites may be further away. Tenderers should note that this estimate has been prepared at the current time, based on the Authority’s reasonable expectations, but that the quantities of waste, the precise location of the Nominated Treatment and/or Disposal Sites, in addition to the timing of the introduction of any additional waste streams being included in the contract may vary. The value of the contract may therefore be greater than this estimate if larger volumes of waste are collected and/or greater volumes of additional waste streams as envisaged by the contract are included within the services.”
