This procurement falls under the environmental services category and is set in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The tender is in the open procurement stage and was published on 15 January 2019. Bids will be accepted until 6 February 2019, with the contracting period beginning on 1 March 2019 and lasting up to three years, with an option to extend for an additional 24 months. The value of the contract is estimated at £120,000. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in waste management, recycling, and environmental services to grow their business. Candidates who can provide reliable container services and timely collection and treatment of gypsum-based waste will find this tender particularly suitable. The contractor will be expected to adhere to DEFRA guidelines, and businesses with expertise in sustainability practices will have a competitive advantage when bidding for this contract. ## Notice The Council is seeking to identify and appoint a suitable contractor for the Collection and Treatment of the Waste Gypsum-Based Material. The Council has 14 RHWS in Leicestershire: 13 are operated by Leicestershire County Council and 1 is operated by a private contractor. The Council is seeking to appoint a single contractor to: 1. provide and site Containers for the Collection of the Waste Gypsum-Based Material at the RHWS. The Specification for Containers is detailed in the draft contract attached as Schedule 2; 2. exchange full Containers for empty Containers at the RHWSs within twenty-four hours of being notified by the Authority that a replacement Container is required, i.e. before they become full. The Council or the RHWS contractor will notify the Contractor when Containers need emptying; 3. haul the Waste Gypsum-Based Material collected in the Containers to one or more Treatment sites to be provided by the Contractor; 4. treat/recycle/dispose of the Waste Gypsum-Based Material. For the avoidance of doubt the Authority is not seeking to purchase the Containers supplied. The Contractor shall provide Containers for siting on the RHWS on 1st March 2019. However there needs to be consistency of service so there may be some cross over from the incumbent contractor to the new contractor. The Contractor shall manage plasterboard with consideration to DEFRA Plasterboard Sustainability Partnership guidance https://www.plasterboardpartnership.org/pages/recycling.htm Full details of the Council's requirements can be found in the attached documentation available to download from www.eastmidstenders.org Due to the nature of the service, the Council is unable to guarantee the amount of Service payment during the Contract term. The Council proposes to enter into one Contract for a maximum initial period of 3 years with the option to extend by a period or periods totalling up to a further 24 months with the successful Tenderer (Supplier). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fcc102c1-ac07-4487-9874-8f28639c93a0 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Jan 2019 | | Submission deadline | 6 Feb 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Mar 2019 - 28 Feb 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £120,000 | | 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 | LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE3 8RA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | Glenfield Faire | | Westminster constituency | Mid Leicestershire | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90000000 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ## Release History - 15 Jan 2019 at 17:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fcc102c1-ac07-4487-9874-8f28639c93a0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fcc102c1-ac07-4487-9874-8f28639c93a0 15th January 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.leicestershire.gov.uk - https://www.plasterboardpartnership.org/pages/recycling.htm ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
