Notice Information
Notice Title
Hire of component cleaning systems, andprovision of environmental waste removalservices for the above period, including waste collections.
Notice Description
WWU has a requirement for the hire of component cleaning systems for an indefinite time period, and provision of environmental waste removal services, which must include cleaning solution removal, cleaning solution disposal, and replacement of cleaning solutions. The machines are used daily to clean the majority of WWU owned tools and equipment that the Workshops department maintains. These machines are used roughly between 10 and 20 times a day in our busier workshops which deems the equipment quite critical to the level of service workshops provide. A few examples of equipment cleaned below; * Pavement saws / individual parts. * Road breaker internal components. * Rockdrill internal components. * Flow stop / drilling equipment. * Pneumatic window cutters. * Trench rammer components.
Planning Information
WWU is undertaking market engagement to ascertain whether there are alternative suppliers that can provide both the hire of aqua wash cleaning machines and environmental services to dispose of the waste liquid.
Procurement Information
a) A change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods, services or works. We currently have a supplier who offers the servicing of the machines and waste collection as a package. In my experience, there isn't any other suppliers that can offer these two options as a package, this meaning we would need to have two separate suppliers (servicing and waste). The current provider serves WWU well, and this is always highlighted when we have environmental (internal and external) audits. Moving away from this service would be a backward step for the business. b) The difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance. There would be a significant difference or incompatibility in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance due to the above comments. E.g., other suppliers would only service the machines. This would mean workshop staff then having to safely store the waste product, then arranging testing the waste for contaminates, then arranging a collection with a separate waste company. Then have to include COSHH training / assessments for workshop managers and staff, where this is all being managed by the current provider.
