The project focuses on addressing contamination in recycling through dedicated contamination officers. Interested parties should submit their tenders by 27 August 2019. The evaluation contract will commence on 3 September 2019, lasting until 1 July 2020, and falls under the industry category of data analysis services, specifically aiming to assess the impact of policy measures on contamination levels. This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses involved in data analysis, research methodologies, and environmental services, particularly those focused on recycling and waste management. Small and micro enterprises as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those that can demonstrate experience in evaluation and monitoring of environmental projects. The insights gained from the evaluation may influence future funding and support for similar initiatives across London, opening further avenues for business growth. ## Notice Resource London, in partnership with the London Environment Directors Network (LEDNet), is delivering the Contamination Hit Squad (CHS) project with four London local authorities - Brent, Greenwich, Haringey and Lewisham. The project involves the employment of a group of contamination officers to help deliver the participating councils' contamination policy. The officers will inspect recycling kerbside containers from selected rounds ahead of the crews (on collection day) and identify those which are contaminated. The contaminated containers will not be emptied as recycling and the householders will be contacted to advise them that their bin was contaminated. A series of follow up letters will be used, depending on the frequency of contamination. More detailed information can be provided to the successful Service Provider. Keep Britain Tidy (KBT) has been contracted by LWARB to deliver the "hit squad" element of the project. The objective of the CHS project is to try to determine whether the employment of a specific group of officers who solely focus on tackling contamination, will help to decrease contamination at the kerbside, compared to relying on the crews to implement the contamination policy. Resource London requires a Service Provider (henceforth 'the M&E Contractor') to carry out an evaluation of the project. The evaluation will involve using monitoring data collected by the Contamination Hit Squad, the participating councils and the M&E Contractor to: * ascertain the impact of the CHS project in reducing contamination at the kerbside; * understand any behavioural changes; and * estimate whether there are potential financial savings to other London local authorities, should they buy into a permanent London-wide Hit Squad programme. The aim of the evaluation is to provide information on which Resource London and the London local authorities can make a decision whether to support the introduction of a permanent, London-wide Contamination Hit Squad. An evaluation plan has been prepared for the project and is attached to this ITT. The objective of this work is to implement that plan, including: * Developing one or more dashboards that can be used by KBT and the participating councils to monitor week on week progress; * Finalising the approach and then working with the councils to obtain data for the difference-in-difference impact evaluation; * Developing a plan for delivering the qualitative research, including a sampling strategy and two semi-structured questionnaires, then deliver that plan; * Working with Resource London and the councils to devise a credible method to estimate potential costs and savings; * Analysing and collating the required data; * Preparing a technical report; and * Preparing a summary report suitable for the participating London authorities ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dea5a3fe-2d78-4c77-911c-789c28ddb2a0 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Aug 2019 | | Submission deadline | 27 Aug 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Sep 2019 - 1 Jul 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £5,000 | | 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 | LONDON WASTE & RECYCLING BOARD | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC2A 2BB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | Bunhill | | Westminster constituency | Islington South and Finsbury | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 72316000 - Data analysis services - 90514000 - Refuse recycling services ## Release History - 21 Aug 2019 at 17:05 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dea5a3fe-2d78-4c77-911c-789c28ddb2a0 - 19 Aug 2019 at 09:46 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dea5a3fe-2d78-4c77-911c-789c28ddb2a0 - 13 Aug 2019 at 09:39 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dea5a3fe-2d78-4c77-911c-789c28ddb2a0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dea5a3fe-2d78-4c77-911c-789c28ddb2a0 21st August 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4d52d76d-6816-480a-9a43-6a4395816cca - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0c207edb-317f-4b01-899b-cf2f4e9d310f ## Notice URLs - http://www.resourcelondon.org ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
