## Summary

Kent County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Device Recycling Scheme," aimed at developing and implementing an IT recycling project across Kent. The awarded contract, valued at £165,000, falls under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) category, specifically "Refuse and waste related services" (CPV: 90500000). The project facilitates the safe and sustainable recycling of old electronic devices. The procurement was conducted using a selective method, specifically a call-off from the Y21028 KCS framework agreement. The contract period runs from 9th August 2024 to 9th August 2025, with an award date of 25th July 2024. Key project features include secure data wiping and proper electronic recycling to reduce hazardous waste and generate funds for other council projects within the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in IT waste management and recycling services. Companies specialising in secure data destruction, refurbishment, and the environmental sustainability of electronic devices are well-suited for this scheme. The initiative not only helps businesses contribute to environmental preservation but also aligns with growing market demand for sustainable practices in IT asset management. Additionally, the project presents a potential revenue stream through the resale or repurposing of refurbished devices, supporting both community access to needed technology and financial growth for the involved service providers.

## Notice

We would like to develop and implement a IT recycling project across Kent for those who would like to recycle their old devices and have their data securely wiped. The Device Recycling Scheme offers an avenue for residents and businesses across Kent to have their electronic devices data wiped and recycled properly and sustainably. The scheme will both allow for a safe and free way for residents and businesses to dispose of their IT waste, reducing hazardous materials going to landfill and provides Kent County Council with funds to support other projects within the organisation. Our Device Recycling Scheme provides Kent residents, businesses, and organisations with the opportunity to sustainably dispose of their unwanted devices, safely and securely, while simultaneously preserving the environment. Contributing to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) category, unwanted and discarded devices are part of the fastest growing type of waste, in the UK today. Our Device Recycling Scheme aims to refurbish and reuse wherever possible and directly support those in our community, who need access to devices and hardware. This contract has been awarded under the Y21028 KCS framework. Additional information: Awarded under the Y21028 KCS Framework.
