## Summary

Kent County Council is seeking a contractor for the SC19004 project, involving the management and operation of a new Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) in the Tonbridge & Malling area. The procurement process is currently at the Award stage, with the contract period set from 23 November 2020 to 22 November 2040. The HWRC must be located within the administrative area of Kent, easily accessible from main road networks, and should adhere to strict environmental and planning regulations. The contract was awarded to FCC Recycling (UK) Limited on 1 September 2020, with a total value of £32.5 million.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in waste management and recycling, particularly those capable of offering sustainable services and infrastructure. Companies that provide innovative waste disposal solutions, recycling technologies, or environmental consultancy would be well-positioned to compete for future contracts related to the HWRC. Additionally, those experienced in managing similar facilities or capable of delivering compliant environmental strategies may find this project aligns well with their business objectives.

## Notice

Kent County Council (KCC) is looking for an organisation that can provide a site for, and manage and operate a new Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) in the Tonbridge & Malling area on behalf of KCC, including waste haulage services. Bidders will also be given the option to deliver waste disposal services on behalf of KCC relating to specific waste materials collected at the HWRC. The new HWRC must be located within the administrative area of Kent and within or close to the primary search area shown on the map below, defined as 'to the west of the Maidstone Town Centre and to the north of the town of West Malling but contained within the proximity or locality of the M20/A20 corridor'. The HWRC must be easily accessible from the primary road network to ensure the site operates efficiently with minimal impact upon the surrounding area. The new HWRC must be sited on suitable land (planning and environmental permitting wise) between 1 and 5 hectares in size. The timescales for this project are tight and therefore to achieve delivery within this timescale, it is desirable for the site to either have an existing waste or industrial use. The site must be of a modern design such that it can comply with all current Environment Agency Environmental Permitting requirements and have a long enough access/entrance way within the site as to not cause any excessive queuing on the highway. The HWRC must be able to accept the full list of waste streams accepted at KCC HWRCs, as set out below: * Green waste; * Residual; * Bulky; * Metal; * Wood; * Paper and Card; * WEEE segregated into Small WEEE/ LDA's,/Cooling/Displays and Lamps; * Textiles; * Glass; * Tyres; * Engine Oil and Engine oil containers; * Cooking Oil; * Lead Acid Batteries; * Dry Cell Batteries; * Asbestos; * Plasterboard; * Soil; * Rubble and Hardcore; * Gas Bottle and Aerosols; * Chemicals; * Toner Cartridges; and * Additional capacity required to take account of future additional waste streams/enforced segregation/overflow. In addition, KCC wish to have a re-use shop as part of the HWRC facility. KCC will be looking for a sustainable facility that makes best use of energy efficient design features, such as solar panels, rainwater harvesting and sustainable drainage systems. The design of the site should follow the waste hierarchy with reuse first, followed by recycling bays and lastly residual to encourage customers to consider how they dispose of their waste. The HWRC shall be open to the public seven days a week in line with the rest of KCC's network of sites. * Monday to Saturday: 8am - 4:30pm * Sunday and bank holidays: 9am - 4pm * Closed: Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. There may be a requirement to extend operating hours during the summer months based on demand.
