Summary of the contracting process

Powys County Council has announced the planning phase for a procurement process titled "Solution for the operation of Powys County Council’s Household Recycling Centres." This planned tender is focused on the management of the Council's four household recycling centres located in Brecon, Llandrindod Wells, Lower Cwmtwrch, and Newtown, with the privately-owned Welshpool site being excluded. The industry category for this procurement falls under refuse and waste related services. The communication date for future notices is set for 5th April, 2024, and the procurement method is a soft market test to gather feedback before formal procurement begins. The Council is seeking innovative solutions to maximise recycling performance while adhering to strict budget constraints and Welsh Government recycling targets.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management and recycling services to expand their operations within Powys County. With the contract for the current operator set to expire in January 2025, there is a valuable chance for businesses to secure a long-term partnership with a regional authority. Companies that can offer cost-effective and innovative recycling solutions will be well-suited to compete. Participants are encouraged to engage in the soft market testing discussions facilitated via eTenderwales to provide valuable insights that will shape the structure of the upcoming procurement process.

Notice Title

Management of operation of a household recycling centre in Welshpool, Powys

Notice Description

Powys County Council provides five household recycling centres (HRC) within the County of Powys for residents to recycle waste items that are not usually collected as part of the waste and recycling collection service. Of the five HRC's, four are owned by the Council (Lower Cwmtyrch, Brecon Llandrindod Wells, Newtown) with the fifth HRC (Welshpool) being owned by an external organisation, Sundorne Products (Welshpool) Limited t/a Potters Waste Management. All five sites are currently managed and operated under contract by Sundorne Products (Welshpool) Limited, t/a Potters Waste Management, and this contract is due to expire on 31st March 2025. Over several years, the Council has explored the option to establish a Council owned site in the Welshpool area but has been unsuccessful in securing a suitable site in the area to operate a HRC from. As part of the Council's review of the current operating model for the management and operation of the HRC's, the marketplace has been engaged with via a soft market test which, amongst other points, explored the lotting of the contract with feedback from all respondents being that the four Council owned sites should be offered as one lot with the Welshpool HRC being treated as a separate lot. Therefore, the Council is intending to award a seven-year contract to Sundorne Products (Welshpool) Limited t/a Potters Waste Management, for the management and operation of the Welshpool HRC to reflect the contract term for the contract opportunity for the remaining four HRC's which is planned to be published following completion of this notice.
