    "description": "The Authority is seeking a single contract to provide services as described in Section II.2.4 (Description of the Procurement). The Authority will implement the procurement procedure in successive stages - further information is set out in the procurement documents. This procurement exercise will be conducted pursuant to the competitive dialogue procedure using the Authority's electronic tendering system at https://procurement.southend.gov.uk/ (or if you are already registered - https://procontract.due-north.com/Login) Organisations wishing to be considered for this contract must register on the portal to participate, download the procurement documentation and complete and return responses to the selection questionnaire (SQ) in accordance with the instructions set out in the procurement documentation. If you have any technical problems with https://procontract.due-north.com/Login please see the supplier help at https://supplierhelp.due-north.com/ or contact the support team on email: ProContractSuppliers@proactis.com The estimated total value provided in Section II.1.5 is for the full possible contract period of 20 years. In arriving at this value, the Authority has considered without limitation the estimated costs (including ad hoc capital) and revenue associated with the provision of the services, including vehicles, fuel, inflation, impact of growth and potential key service change to be explored during dialogue. The Authority is of the view that TUPE is likely to apply to staff at contract commencement but bidders will be expected to undertake their own due diligence. The Authority has depots, a waste transfer station and HWRC sites to be used in the provision of the Services that shall be leased or licensed to the contractor. Further information shall be provided in the procurement documents. Vehicles in the fleet are anticipated to be predominantly financed by the Contractor and to be owned by the Authority. However, this is open for discussion with bidders through dialogue. Existing vehicles will be available to the Contractor at the commencement of the Contract. It is anticipated that the services will commence on 05.10.2024 but the Authority reserves the right to amend this should the procurement timetable need to be extended to ensure that the Authority identifies a solution/solutions capable of meeting its needs and providing value for money. Economic operators are entirely responsible for their costs and losses arising or incurred as a result of any participation in this procurement process. The Authority reserves the right to abandon this procurement exercise at any stage and / or not award any contract or to award only part (or a different arrangement) of the opportunity described in this contract notice. The Authority reserves the right not to award the opportunity or to award only part (or a different arrangement) of the opportunity described in this contract notice. The Authority reserves the right to omit, amend or recalibrate any part of the Services or technical service standards at any stage and to require those bidders in the process to adjust their solutions accordingly without reverting back to previous stages. Applicants should note that the procurement documents provide indicative information of the Authority's approach in the procurement process at this stage and are for general information only. The Authority reserves the right to vary, amend and update any aspects of the procurement documents and final details and versions of the procurement documents will be confirmed to applicants successful in being selected to participate in dialogue.",
