Summary of the contracting process

Essex County Council has recently awarded a contract for the maintenance and repair of its container units and pedestrian access steps, which are essential for managing the waste generated by the county's 1.5 million residents. The awarded contracts, stemming from the tender titled "1054 - Container and Access Step Maintenance," are split into two Lots: Lot 1 for Container Maintenance and Lot 2 for Access Step Maintenance, including Adhoc Maintenance Works, covering a total estimated contract value of £843,333 over a 3+2 year period. The awarded contracts to UK Container Maintenance Ltd for Lot 1 and Oxborrow Engineering Limited for Lot 2, were finalised on 31st July 2024, with the services to be provided across various Recycling Centres for Household Waste (RCHW) and Waste Transfer Stations (WTS) located in the UKH region.

    "description": "The maximum value of this contract is PS843,333 over the 3+2 year period. The maximum contract value is to be adhered to based on the cumulative value of both Lots. Due to the nature of this requirement being for the provision of services required following a request by the Authority, the contract value for each Lot reflects a quotation of a weighted basket which included hourly rates, travel rates and a basket of services. This criteria was issued at tender stage and used for evaluation purposes.",
