This tender, which falls under the category of refuse and waste-related services, is currently in the award stage following an open procurement process. The initial contract period commenced on 28 July 2017, lasting for two years, with an option to extend for an additional year. Interested suppliers must electronically submit their bids, with the deadline for submission having been 25 May 2017. This opportunity presents significant growth prospects for businesses in the waste management and recycling industry, particularly those capable of operating a Materials Recovery Facility within 20 miles of Robinson Road depot, BN9 9BL. Suppliers specialising in waste management services, recycling technologies, and operational logistics would be best suited to compete for this contract, particularly as the council aims to enhance its recycling rates, thus increasing the demand for effective waste processing solutions. ## Notice Further information about the process to be followed is contained in the Invitation to Tender available from https://www.sesharedservices.org.uk/esourcing Lewes District Council seeks a services contract with a Materials Recovery Facility for processing and resale of its Dry Recyclable Materials. The Authority is moving away from current kerbside sort and in-house processing to a co-mingled collection method with recyclable materials to be received, bulked, hauled, processed and sold by a third party Supplier. A 240ltr wheeled and lidded bin will be provided to householders by the Authority as part of this new service, with an additional 50 litres capacity over the current system. The current rate of recycling for dry materials is circa 20% of waste collected. Current contamination rates are low, typically 2%. Projections for recycling are that it will increase by between 4 and 7%. Ideally the Supplier will be able to provide a Waste Transfer Station no further than 20 miles by road from the Robinson Road depot, BN9 9BL. The intention is to run pilot rounds in autumn 2017, trialling the operational impacts of the new collection service. This contract will be procured using an Open Procedure under Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR). The initial contract period is for just under two years from June 2017. There is an option to extend for a further year. A 240ltr wheeled and lidded bin will be provided to householders by the Authority as part of this new service, with an additional 50 litres capacity over the current system . There is also scope for an additional receptacle which would supplement the 240 litre bin in order to accommodate for two stream collection methods All documents must be submitted electronically via the SE Shared Services In-Tend system at: https://www.sesharedservices.org.uk/esourcing The indicative procurement timetable is detailed below: 25 April 2017 Contract Notice/Issue Tender Documents 18 May 2017 Last date for Tenderers questions 23 May 2017 Final clarifications issued 25 May 2017 Closing date for tender submission. 2 June 2017 Selection of preferred supplier (commence standstill period) 28 June 2017 Contract Award or 4 Sept 2017 28 July 2017 Contract Start date or 11 Sept 2017 Additional information: All Tender Documents are available electronically at: https://www.sesharedservices.org.uk/esourcing ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5bafbb64-eed9-4f16-bfaa-af3d89c83ae3 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Dec 2019 | | Submission deadline | 25 May 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 2 Jul 2017 | | Contract period | 27 Jul 2017 - 27 Jul 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,450,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £1,215,953 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | EASTBOURNE BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | EASTBOURNE | | Post town | Brighton | | Postcode | BN21 4TW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ22 East Sussex CC | | Local authority | Eastbourne | | Electoral ward | Upperton | | Westminster constituency | Eastbourne | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | VIRIDOR WASTE MANAGEMENT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90500000 - Refuse and waste related services ## Release History - 23 Dec 2019 at 09:47 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5bafbb64-eed9-4f16-bfaa-af3d89c83ae3 - 26 Apr 2017 at 09:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f28615d0-c2b3-49d8-97f7-4e3655fe237c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5bafbb64-eed9-4f16-bfaa-af3d89c83ae3 23rd December 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f28615d0-c2b3-49d8-97f7-4e3655fe237c 26th April 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.sesharedservices.org.uk/esourcing SE Shared Services Portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
