Contract for Waste Disposal - Hanford Energy Recovery Facility
Notice Description
Staffordshire County Council have secured short term arrangements (April 2025 - March 2030) for the disposal of waste in the North of Staffordshire.

Procurement Information
The agreement has been made on the basis it can be demonstrated (in accordance with Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015) that the required service can only be provided by particular provider (in this case, SOTCC) because competition is absent for technical reasons. Waste industry focused Technically, Environmentally and Economically Practicable (TEEP) analysis has been undertaken to demonstrate the technical reasons that the competition is absent. Of the 55,000 tonnes (t) of statutory residual waste delivered to the Hanford ERF by SCC, approximately 35,000t are direct delivered via Refuse Collection Vehicles (RCVs), with the remaining 20,000t delivered via transfer stations. For the 35,000t direct delivered material, it is not operationally viable to transport this waste long distances on RCVs without substantially impacting the WCAs waste operations and negatively impacting residents' kerbside bin collections. Consequently, the disposal solution needs to accommodate short haulage distances for direct delivered material or include the provision of a suitable local transfer station with sufficient capacity, availability and flexibility for this material. The remaining 20,000t delivered via transfer stations is committed as balancing tonnage at SCC's other ERF facilities to manage availability obligations and thus requires substantial flexibility to meet SCC's existing contractual agreements.
