Tenderers are required to confirm in the Offer Schedule a price per tonne of all mixed paper and cardboard arising from collections made by the Council and sold on its behalf to a nominated recycling mill or other agent. Delivery costs to the agreed tenderers depot will be taken into consideration when considering the selling price. The Council is seeking to establish a framework of all tenders, with the contract being awarded initially to the most economically advantageous tenderer. A base rate of market prices will be established and any fluctuations (positive or negative) from this base rate of 10% or GBP 10 (whichever is the lesser) will result in the Council revisiting the Framework for revised tonnage prices. If a Framework cannot be established and there is only one successful tenderer then following fluctuations to the base rate (positive or negative) of 10% or GBP 10 (whichever is the lesser) both parties will meet within 14 days to negotiate and seek to agree a revised price to be paid per tonne. If a mutually agreeable price cannot be identified then the Authority may terminate the Agreement. The base rate will be based upon the market price per tonne as published in 'Material Recycling Weekly' in the month that this contract is initially awarded.
