Notice Information
Notice Title
Disposal of Domestic Mixed Recyclable Waste
Notice Description
Ubico requires the continued use of a waste disposal site that is operationally compatible with the collection service. Ubico's collection rounds, workforce planning, vehicle routing, and daily operational schedules are all designed around the disposal point operated by Grundon Waste Management. Continuation of services at this site is essential for maintaining statutory waste collection and environmental services.
Procurement Information
Ubico is justified in issuing a direct award to Grundon Waste Management under Schedule 5 (Single Supplier) of the Procurement Act 2024 because: *Grundon is the only supplier whose disposal site is operationally and technically compatible with the existing Ubico collection service. *No reasonable alternative disposal sites exist within a viable operational radius. *Changing supplier would create unacceptable operational disruption, additional cost, and service risk, including potential failure to meet statutory waste collection obligations. *Any alternative would require significant route redesign and additional resources, making such alternatives unreasonable.
