Summary of the contracting process

The Derbyshire Dales District Council has recently completed the procurement process for the "Organic Waste Disposal" services. The contracts have been awarded to Severn Trent Green Power Ltd for processing the domestic food waste and to Biffa Waste Services Limited for handling the domestic garden waste. These contracts are set to run from 1st March 2024 to 31st March 2026. The Council aims to address the collection and processing of organic waste to produce renewable energy and compost, creating opportunities for waste management businesses in the refuse and waste-related services sector.

This procurement stage involved a negotiated procedure without prior publication, driven by the specific technical requirements for waste disposal in the region. The Council's initiative to segregate organic waste streams aligns with regulatory changes mandating weekly kerbside food waste collections. As a business looking to engage, expertise in anaerobic digestion and composting technologies would be advantageous. Understanding the operational and environmental implications of waste management methods will be crucial for businesses seeking to participate in similar future tenders.

Procurement Information

Derbyshire County Council (DCC) is the Waste Disposal Authority (WDA) for the county with responsibility for deciding the disposal of waste collected by Derbyshire's eight Districts and Boroughs in their capacity as Waste Collection Authorities (WCA). DCC currently use In Vessel Composting (IVC) to process organic waste material. The primary advantage of IVC is its ability to accept and treat a comingled feedstock. Recent changes to legislation require all WCAs to provide a free and weekly collection of food waste from the kerbside. Whilst not introducing a strict prohibition on the comingling of food and garden waste, the requirement for collections to be weekly, all year round and free means continuing to comingle both streams would incur significant additional cost for which no new burdens funding would be available. Alternative techniques (anaerobic digestion of food waste and open windrow for garden waste) may offer significant improvements in terms of operating costs and environmental performance however a comprehensive cost benefit analysis is required prior to DCC reaching a final determination. To allow DCC time, for such an assessment to be conducted and for the subsequent procurement and contract mobilisation to take place, Derbyshire Dales District Council needs an interim contract arrangement from 1st March 2024, until 31st March 2026 to enable continuation of organic waste disposal services. Letting contracts of this type for shorter contract periods significantly reduces the attractiveness of the contract to the market. A contract term of one or two years makes it very difficult for prospective bidders to recoup their bid and contract mobilisation costs, which can be significant. There is a limited number of organic waste disposal and processing locations within or near the Derbyshire Dales District border that allow the council to dispose of its organic waste and meet the terms agreed on its waste and recycling collection contract without significant additional costs. Because of the uncertainty regarding the Council's long-term requirements and the need for a short-term solution to maintain current services, competition is absent. Where competition for public service contracts is absent for technical reasons, contracting authorities may use a negotiated procedure without prior publication in accordance with regulation 32 (2) (b) (ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
