This procurement process falls under the services category of refuse and waste-related services and is located in the North West region of England. The tender opened on 18th February 2019, with a deadline for submissions set for 22nd February 2019. The authority is employing an open procedure for this procurement, with the successful bidder to be selected based on the most economically advantageous offer for the collected materials. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in recycling and waste management, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies that can provide competitive pricing per tonne for mixed paper and cardboard, as well as those with capabilities in logistics and transport, will be well-positioned to compete. The potential for a longer-term contract, running from 31st March 2019 to 31st March 2021, further enhances the prospect for sustainable business growth in this sector. ## Notice Ribble Valley Borough Council on behalf of the Waste Management Department is currently inviting tenders from suitably qualified companies for the purchase of mixed paper and cardboard. Tenderers are required to confirm in the Offer Schedule a price per tonne of all mixed paper and cardboard arising from collections made by the Council and sold on its behalf to a nominated recycling mill or other agent. Delivery costs to the agreed tenderers depot will be taken into consideration when considering the selling price. The Council is seeking to establish a framework of all tenders, with the contract being awarded initially to the most economically advantageous tenderer. A base rate of market prices will be established and any fluctuations (positive or negative) from this base rate of 10% or GBP 10 (whichever is the lesser) will result in the Council revisiting the Framework for revised tonnage prices. If a Framework cannot be established and there is only one successful tenderer then following fluctuations to the base rate (positive or negative) of 10% or GBP 10 (whichever is the lesser) both parties will meet within 14 days to negotiate and seek to agree a revised price to be paid per tonne. If a mutually agreeable price cannot be identified then the Authority may terminate the Agreement. The base rate will be based upon the market price per tonne as published in 'Material Recycling Weekly' in the month that this contract is initially awarded. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c15fb7fc-edcd-4a1a-acee-2858055198b5 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Feb 2019 | | Submission deadline | 22 Feb 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2019 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | RIBBLE VALLEY BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | CLITHEROE | | Post town | Blackburn | | Postcode | BB7 2RA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD45 Mid Lancashire | | Local authority | Ribble Valley | | Electoral ward | St Mary's | | Westminster constituency | Pendle and Clitheroe | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90500000 - Refuse and waste related services ## Release History - 18 Feb 2019 at 10:25 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c15fb7fc-edcd-4a1a-acee-2858055198b5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c15fb7fc-edcd-4a1a-acee-2858055198b5 18th February 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB156548 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.ribblevalley.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
