Summary of the contracting process

Warwickshire County Council has awarded a contract for the management of green waste and biowaste to FCC Waste Service (UK) Limited. The contract is in the services category, specifically for refuse and waste related services. The contract involves the reception and processing of organic waste and has been awarded for a period of approximately 15 years, but recently reduced to a 12 1/2-year term ending on 31 March 2025 due to contract variations. These variations include the removal of reprocessing and the inclusion of arrangements for the separate collection of food and garden waste by April 2026. The waste management services are to be delivered in the UKG13 region, specifically North Warwickshire and Nuneaton and Bedworth.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for companies specialising in waste management and environmental services. Businesses with expertise in the collection, processing, and recycling of organic waste will find this contract particularly suitable. The contract demands high operational standards and the ability to adapt to legislative changes, providing an excellent platform for businesses to showcase their efficiency and commitment to sustainable waste management practices. Additionally, companies that can provide seamless transitions to new waste collection systems, as mandated by the government's strategy, will be well-positioned for future tenders from the council.

The variation includes the following changes: Definitions to align with the changes to the contract A revised termination date of 31/03/2025 and therefore a reduction in contract term of 30 months and therefore VII.1.5 is no longer 180 months but 150 months following this modification. Reduced scope with the removal of reprocessing",
                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The government strategy is for separate collection of food and garden waste by April 2026. A contract variation has been required to enable the Council to implement the government's strategy. The contract variation will secure arrangements that will facilitate the continued efficient and effective management of Warwickshire's bio waste in the short term and allow a smooth transition to the new collection arrangements expected by April 2026. The changes under the contract will give the Council secure processing capacity within the county and flexibility to move to the new arrangements required to support the separate weekly collection of food waste. The variation negotiated for the FCC contract is designed to achieve value for money including the price adjustment and flexibility to allow the transition to the weekly collection of food waste which is anticipated to be separate from other waste. The removal of the biowaste collected leaves the contract for the bulking and haulage of bio waste collected in North Warwickshire and Nuneaton and Bedworth to a processing facility nominated by the Council which is the vessel composting facility at Ufton. Early contract termination will provide the Council time to tender the bulking and haulage services and the Council being able to take full control for the transfer, haulage and processing of the biowaste being collected in North Warwickshire and Nuneaton and Bedworth. The above changes are considered under Regulation 72 (8) Public Contract Regulations as not substantial because the reduced term is still within the scope of the contract. The reduction in scope of the services by the removal of the requirement to process bio waste collected are not materially different in character from the outset of the contract under Regulation 72 (8) (a), under Regulation 72 (8) (b) this change including the reduced term do not introduce conditions which would have altered the outcome as the reduced service was already part of the service and the reduction in term is for 2 1/2 years over the total 15 year contract. The reduced term and scope do not change the economic balance of the contractor under Regulation 72 (8) (c) as the contract has been in place for over 12 years and the changes are not considered substantial to affect the period towards of the end of the contract from a long-term contract. In addition the reduction in contract price does not favour the contractor and is considered achieving best value for the Council. The changes do not extend the scope of the contract considerably under Regulation (8) (d) because the changes are within the scope of the contract and not an extension but a reduction to align with the Council's requirements to meet the Government's Strategy to separate food waste from biowaste services. Overall the service remains the same with some changes as outlined above and the contract is varied to meet the needs of the Council , achieve value for money and provides flexibility to move to new collection arrangements envisaged in central government's new waste strategy including the separate collection and processing of food waste."
