The project involves collecting data on packaging waste in street litter bins managed by Local Authorities in the UK. The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender period ending on 22nd November 2023. The contract period is set to start on 4th January 2024 and end on 31st May 2025, with a total contract value of £444,000. The project location is in London, United Kingdom. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses with expertise in waste analysis services to participate in collecting data on packaging waste for Defra's binned waste programme. Companies capable of delivering robust data on packaging waste weight, composition, and cleanliness, specifically from street bins managed by Local Authorities, would be well-suited to compete. The open procurement method allows for transparent competition, offering a chance for eligible businesses to contribute to important research supporting waste management policies. ## Notice This project is part of a wider Binned Waste Programme commissioned by Defra. The programme aims to provide data to evaluate and underpin a binned waste Fees and Payments Calculator model that is in development by Defra to determine the costs for LAs management of binned packaging waste. These costs will be combined with the other costs in scope of pEPR, calculated by alternate Defra models, to ascertain the reimbursable costs which will result in fees payable by obligated producers and the total amounts that will ultimately be payable to LAs. The aim of this project is therefore to create a robust baseline upon which we can improve our knowledge about the weight and composition of packaging waste in street litter bins managed by LAs. The objective of this project is to be able to use this initial baseline of data to underpin the fees and payments calculator for binned waste which can form a basis for continuous improvement and to help support our policy work on ground litter. A contractor is needed to design and deliver robust data on the amount and types of packaging waste placed in street bins managed by Local Authorities (LAs) in the UK. Specifically, data on the: * Weight * Composition * Number - of certain 'commonly binned items * Cleanliness If you are interested in the opportunity please register your interest here: https://atamis-9529.my.site.com/s/Welcome ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/418f27a0-1502-4678-92e6-50b6bbad0b92 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Nov 2023 | | Submission deadline | 22 Nov 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Jan 2024 - 31 May 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £440,000 | | 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 | DEPARTMENT FOR FOOD, ENVIRONMENT AND RURAL AFFAIRS | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3JR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services - 79723000 - Waste analysis services ## Release History - 15 Nov 2023 at 09:16 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/418f27a0-1502-4678-92e6-50b6bbad0b92 - 25 Oct 2023 at 13:12 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a9002119-4d01-4955-91ea-12d0cb1e9047 - 23 Oct 2023 at 20:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/141e0873-e296-411a-98cd-126f626ede3b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/418f27a0-1502-4678-92e6-50b6bbad0b92 15th November 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a9002119-4d01-4955-91ea-12d0cb1e9047 25th October 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/141e0873-e296-411a-98cd-126f626ede3b 23rd October 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://atamis-9529.my.site.com/s/Welcome ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
