Summary of the contracting process

The Uttlesford District Council is overseeing a public procurement process titled "Collection of Dry Recyclates", classified under refuse recycling services. This procurement is currently in the Award stage, following a tender that initiated an agreement to extend an existing contract with Viridor Waste Management Limited. The contract, valued at £800,000, was signed on 24th February 2021, with a total duration of two years that includes a provision for a one-year extension based on market conditions. Services will be carried out from a transfer station located in Great Dunmow, Essex, where recyclable materials are collected for sorting and recycling at a designated facility.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in waste management and recycling services. Companies that specialise in the collection, transportation, and processing of recyclable materials, particularly those with experience in adapting to changing market dynamics due to the impact of Covid-19, will find this a suitable opportunity to expand their operations. The growing volume of recyclables, including a notable increase in cardboard packaging, highlights the potential for suppliers to adapt and respond to evolving waste patterns, ensuring sustained business growth in the wake of shifting consumer habits.

Notice Title

Collection of Dry Recyclates

Notice Description

Collection of co-mingled dry recyclable materials (paper, plastics and glass) from transfer station. Transportation to providers Materials Recycling Facility for sorting and recycling.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Dry recyclable materials are collected from a transfer station located in Great Dunmow, Essex where they are deposited by Uttlesford District Council following doorstep collection. Materials are then bulked and transported to the providers MRF for sorting and recycling

Options: A 12 month extension to the existing agreement with Viridor has been agreed (effective from 3 February 2021), with an option further 12 months thereafter.

Procurement Information

It was intended that the Council would attempt to re-test the market in 2020 but uncertainty within the materials markets due to EU Exit, Covid-19 and to some extent the Government's draft Resources and Waste Management Strategy have made it a very difficult time to procure services. As well as the impact of Covid-19 on the global economy, there have been significant changes in the composition of waste produced during 2020 and continuing into 2021 that have yet to stabilise. For example overall volume of waste collected has grown by around 10% and the proportions of materials have also changed dramatically with a large increase in cardboard packaging for example. This is thought to be as a result of the changes in shopping habits associated with the various national and local 'lockdowns'
