Notice Information

Notice Title

Measurement and Modelling of Waste Composition in England

Notice Description

Defra wishes to update its data on the composition of mixed waste and use the updated information, as well as wider insights, to develop a predictive model. The waste composition fieldwork will cover mixed municipal and non-municipal wastes from up to 50 waste and recycling streams. Representative samples of waste from each stream will be sampled and sorted into materials/items using a category list supplied by Defra. Each material category sampled and sorted will be weighed. Data will be scaled up to tonnages using the EWC/LoW codes. A model will be developed using this data and a package of work investigating the drivers of waste composition. Defra will procure the work in two Lots. The first Lot will cover fieldwork and development of the model. The second Lot is to appoint an independent fieldwork auditor who will assure the processes deployed minimise the risk of errors and inaccuracies in the data. Additional information: Defra would like to invite interested suppliers to join an Early Market Engagement Event, in order to share a draft of the Specification and gather feedback on specific elements, which will help shape our requirement. If you are interested in participating in this event, please email leonie.cormac@defra.gov.uk by Tuesday 12/04/2022 (12:00). A maximum of two participants from each organisation may join the event. The event will be held virtually through Microsoft Teams and is scheduled for 16:00 - 17:00 on Wednesday 13th April 2022. A copy of the draft Specification will be shared after the call. Please note, the call will be recorded and transcribed, with the intention that it is shared with those interested parties who are unable to attend the event.
