## Summary

The Durham County Council has awarded a contract for the repurposing and recycling of surplus office equipment at County Hall. The contract, valued at £50,000 GBP, was awarded to Collecteco through a negotiated procedure. The contract period starts on 19th February 2024 and ends on 31st August 2024.

This opportunity is suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. Businesses in the services industry category with expertise in storage and retrieval services could benefit from competing in this tender. The procurement process, initiated as a tender, has now reached the award stage, offering potential suppliers the chance to provide evidence of social value, carbon benefits, and circular economy contributions.

## Notice

County Hall is designed for a workforce of approximately 1,800 staff. The building is due to be fully vacated and decommissioned approximately March 2025 in preparation for demolition and the redevelopment of the site. As a consequence, the building has a significant amount of surplus office equipment. Having already closed floors 4 & 5 we are in a position to remove a significant amount of furniture immediately; (approx. 50 tonnes in weight.) To fulfil our Corporate Social Responsibility, we need to ensure that the as far as reasonably practicable the surplus office equipment is re-used, repurposed and/or recycled. We require evidence in relation to social value, carbon and circular economy benefit along with testimonials and photos from the provider in relation to the furniture from County Hall.
