## Summary

The British Antarctic Survey (BAS), under the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), is currently conducting a public procurement process for the 'Portside Collection and Disposal of BAS Ship and Research Station Waste'. This contract falls within the industry category of refuse and waste related services, with a total value of £500,000 and a minimum value of £100,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, and tenders must be submitted by 29 January 2021. The contract is set to commence on 15 February 2021 and will last for one year until 14 February 2022, with delivery options available worldwide, including the UK and other territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) particularly in the waste management sector. Companies that specialise in the collection, transport, and disposal of waste, especially those with experience in remote or challenging environments like Antarctica, would be well-positioned to compete. The initiative also encourages participation from voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSE), thereby fostering an inclusive bidding environment that seeks innovative waste management solutions.

## Notice

British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is seeking a third party waste management company to provide a waste management service for the UK collection, transport and disposal of waste generated in the Antarctic and South Georgia from i) BAS research stations and the ii) BAS vessel(s). Waste is expected to be returned to the UK by the BAS vessel(s) and offloaded at a UK port once a year. However, smaller volumes of BAS wastes may also be returned to the UK on non-BAS vessels therefore additional small waste collections may be required during the contract period. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
