Notice Information

Notice Title

Clinical and Chemical Waste Provision

Notice Description

The University of Exeter generates hazardous waste from various departments, including laboratories, estates, and grounds teams which is sent for disposal by incineration, and chemical waste which is collected for off-site disposal and/or recycling. Clinical waste is generated across the estate which is sent for waste to energy incineration. The key objectives to the University when undertaking the tender process for a waste and recycling provider(s) are: 1. To ensure that waste providers fulfil all legal requirements relating to waste management and support the University in maintaining full compliance. 2. To work with proactive and innovative providers to maintain zero waste to landfill within the scope of this contract. 3. To ensure that the University receives a service that gives both value for money and the flexibility to grow and develop in line with the University's future goals. 4. To work with providers who are able to deliver up to date and accurate management information both on waste and recycling rates. 5. Engage with providers who will proactively help the University to raise its recycling rates through more efficient and innovative processes. Suppliers should note that The University views waste as a resource, and the University wishes to realise any available revenue from such. In addition, flexible approaches during the contract period and suggestions of alternative collection and disposal methods will be welcomed. This means that we want to work in partnership with our waste Supplier(s), recognising the commercial benefits of this approach to all parties.
