Notice Title
Recycling waste services
Notice Description
Castle Point Borough Council (CPBC) through the Essex Procurement Partnership (EPP) is looking to renew their recycling waste disposal services contracts. This relates the provision of a waste transfer station (WTS), haulage and Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) services for the borough's dry mixed recycling requirements (excluding glass). The contract duration is 5 years plus an optional extension of up to 5 years in one or multiple increments. Known-unknown risks: 1- Declining or failing end markets Impact: Financial pressure, operational disruption, and performance risks for both the Contractor and the Authority. Why this cannot be addressed upfront: Neither party can accurately forecast long-term end-market viability or values, making upfront risk pricing potentially disproportionate and poor value for money. 2- Geopolitical events / Wars / Blockades Impact: Service delays, reduced recycling performance, financial pressure on the Contractor, or value-for-money risks for the Authority Why this cannot be addressed upfront: Pricing, service volumes, and operational impacts cannot be accurately or proportionately quantified at contract inception without introducing excessive risk premiums. 3- Extreme weather events Impact: Effects to service continuity, performance standards, and contract affordability. Why this cannot be addressed upfront: It is not possible to price or fully mitigate all operational and financial impacts upfront without introducing disproportionate cost or risk premiums. There is a possibility that the contract may require modification if one of the identified risks above materialise
