Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council is currently undertaking a tender process for the "Treatment of Green Waste in Leicestershire," focused on refuse and waste related services. The procurement is at the planning stage with submissions for tenders due by 21 January 2022. The likely commencement date for the contract is 1 April 2022, lasting until at least 31 March 2024, although it could extend up to 15 years depending on mutual agreement. The procurement is based on the legal framework outlined in CELEX 32014L0024, aiming to secure additional capacity for composting facilities to manage green waste while accommodating future national changes to waste management practices in the region.

This opportunity presents a chance for businesses in the waste management and recycling sector to expand their operations. Companies specialising in green waste treatment solutions, such as aerobic composting or anaerobic digestion, will find this tender particularly relevant. The potential total contract value ranges from £1,000,000 to £7,000,000 over the fifteen-year period and involves managing varying amounts of green waste generated throughout Leicestershire. Businesses looking to contribute should be prepared to offer innovative waste management solutions and demonstrate the ability to handle increasing volumes of green waste in conjunction with other local authority requirements.

Notice Title

Treatment of Green Waste in Leicestershire

Notice Description

Leicestershire County Council ("the Council") directs green waste under its control to one of a number of composting facilities in the midlands region to ensure such waste is directed away from landfill mitigating the carbon impact of the management of such waste. Some of these composting facilities are now at the end of their contract term. The Council therefore wishes to procure additional capacity to treat such green waste whilst ensuring that forthcoming national changes to local authority waste management activities can be accommodated. The likely commencement date for this contract is 1st April 2022 and will continue until at least 31st March 2024 after which either the Council or the successful bidders would be able to break from the Contract (subject to written notice). Subject to neither the Council or the successful bidders issuing such the break notice the maximum term of the contracts shall not exceed 15 years.

In 2019, a total of circa 331,000 tonnes per annum (pa) of municipal waste was collected from both commercial and household premises by these authorities of which approximately 65,000 tonnes pa was green waste. Of this green waste the Council currently manages approximately 42,000 tonnes pa through contracted facilities (with the remainder being managed directly by the WCAs). Of the green waste managed by the Council c. 14,000 tonnes pa arises from the Council's own Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC) with the remainder arising from directed WCA kerbside collections. The Council currently anticipates that it initially requires a treatment solution (either aerobic composting or anaerobic digestion) of at least 5,000 tonnes pa of green waste but is subject to change over the contract term due to local and national drivers. The Council intends to award three contracts (via three Lots) to manage green waste that primarily arises in the North-East, South and South-East of the county of Leicestershire (although noting green waste may be delivered from any area of Leicestershire under any of the contracts). The contract will be primarily for green waste under the direction of the Council but may include green waste that is under the direct control of the WCAs. Such green waste would be incorporated into the overall tonnage requirements under the contract. The additional contracting authorities included in this notice are Blaby District Council, Harborough District Council, Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council, Melton Borough Council, North West Leicestershire District Council. The potential total contract value across all lots could therefore vary from PS1,000,000 to PS7,000,000 over the potential fifteen-year period but is subject to the total tonnage treated."
