This project falls within the recycling equipment industry category, and the council aims to ensure the new equipment can handle increased material volumes and future growth. Currently, the procurement stage is in Planning, with an important milestone set for the engagement end date on 12th April 2019. Interested parties must contact Martin Hellyer to arrange site visits before this deadline. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the recycling equipment sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in manufacturing or supplying operational recycling machinery. Companies with expertise in baler technology or sorting line enhancements would be well-positioned to compete effectively for this contract. The council's focus on reliability and efficiency suggests that businesses offering innovative and scalable solutions will have a competitive advantage in this procurement process. ## Notice We currently have a baler located at Ashmead Road Recycling Depot, Ashmead Road, Keynsham, Bristol, BS31 1SX for baling cardboard, plastics and tin cans generated from kerbside sorted recycling collections. This baler is not capable of processing the current material volumes on site. We therefore have a requirement to replace the baler for a new unit that will be reliable, cope with the current throughput of the site and be 'future proofed' for continual growth of material. We are also looking at some minor alterations of the picking line to increase volume throughput I.e additional picking station. We are inviting interested parties to visit our site at Ashmead Road, Keynsham to see the current set up of our recycling baler and associated sort line, housed within our space restricted transfer station, to fully understand what options are available in the marketplace to replace the equipment in order to meet our future needs. From these series of visits and open discussions we aim to get an understanding of what is available to us in the marketplace to formulate a formal tender and procurement process for the purchase, installation and commissioning of a new baler and associated 'sort line' facilities. Interested parties should contact Martin Hellyer martin_hellyer@bathnes.gov.uk to arrange an appointment. This process will conclude on Friday 12th April, no appointments can be made after that date. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4276adc1-9cf4-402e-a263-d33b2cf6c0a6 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Mar 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 12 Apr 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £350,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BATH AND NORTH EAST SOMERSET COUNCIL | | Locality | BATH | | Post town | Bath | | Postcode | BA1 5AW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | Bath and North East Somerset | | Electoral ward | Kingsmead | | Westminster constituency | Bath | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 42914000 - Recycling equipment ## Release History - 7 Mar 2019 at 08:00 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4276adc1-9cf4-402e-a263-d33b2cf6c0a6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4276adc1-9cf4-402e-a263-d33b2cf6c0a6 7th March 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=f48059ef-f63f-e911-80f3-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.bathnes.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
