The Authority is moving away from current kerbside sort and in-house processing to a co-mingled collection method with recyclable materials to be received, bulked, hauled, processed and sold by a third party Supplier. A 240ltr wheeled and lidded bin will be provided to householders by the Authority as part of this new service, with an additional 50 litres capacity over the current system. The current rate of recycling for dry materials is circa 20% of waste collected. Current contamination rates are low, typically 2%. Projections for recycling are that it will increase by between 4 and 7%. Ideally the Supplier will be able to provide a Waste Transfer Station no further than 20 miles by road from the Robinson Road depot, BN9 9BL. The intention is to run pilot rounds in autumn 2017, trialling the operational impacts of the new collection service. This contract will be procured using an Open Procedure under Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR). The initial contract period is for just under two years from June 2017. There is an option to extend for a further year. A 240ltr wheeled and lidded bin will be provided to householders by the Authority as part of this new service, with an additional 50 litres capacity over the current system . There is also scope for an additional receptacle which would supplement the 240 litre bin in order to accommodate for two stream collection methods All documents must be submitted electronically via the SE Shared Services In-Tend system at: [sesharedservices.org.uk/esourcing](https://www.sesharedservices.org.uk/esourcing) The indicative procurement timetable is detailed below: 25 April 2017 Contract Notice/Issue Tender Documents 18 May 2017 Last date for Tenderers questions 23 May 2017 Final clarifications issued 25 May 2017 Closing date for tender submission. 2 June 2017 Selection of preferred supplier (commence standstill period) 28 June 2017 Contract Award or 4 Sept 2017 28 July 2017 Contract Start date or 11 Sept 2017 Additional information: All Tender Documents are available electronically at: [sesharedservices.org.uk/esourcing](https://www.sesharedservices.org.uk/esourcing) Read full description ## CPV classification Refuse and waste related services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/6cdaa331-a927-45dd-9492-aeb1f1df8670) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
