## Summary

The Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council is planning a procurement process for a contract titled "Residual Waste Disposal," aimed at addressing waste treatment and disposal needs in the Bournemouth and Christchurch areas. The related industry category is environmental services, specifically focusing on waste management, with a total estimated contract value of £40 million over a minimum of three years. The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with a Prior Information Notice issued to engage interested parties before the formal procurement process begins. Key dates include a scheduled market engagement event from 1 to 5 March 2021, and the target for the new contract to commence by 1 September 2021.

This upcoming tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in waste management, recycling, and environmental services. Companies that offer innovative waste treatment technologies or solutions, as well as those experienced in working with local authorities, will find this procurement particularly relevant. The contract's focus on sustainability aligns with the Council's commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2030, creating further opportunities for businesses that can demonstrate environmentally-friendly practices and technologies. Engaging in the market exploration activities and expressing interest through the Council’s eTendering platform may position businesses favourably for future participation in this contract.

## Notice

The Council has issued a Prior Information Notice (PIN) in order to raise awareness of the contract and to give interested parties the opportunity to participate in a soft market exercise in relation to a possible future public procurement to award a contract for Residual Waste Disposal. The PIN is intended to give interested parties the opportunity to participate in a market engagement event prior to the commencement of a procurement process under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. BCP Council requires a solution for residual waste treatment and/or disposal from the legacy council areas of Bournemouth and Christchurch. The waste sources are from kerbside domestic rounds, trade, street and beach litter. BCP Council is undertaking a period of pre-market engagement to discuss residual waste treatment/disposal options, delivery to site (either direct or through a local transfer station). Our sustainability obligations and suppliers' preferred facility/technology along with any contingencies will also be discussed. The new waste treatment and disposal solution(s) must be in place by 1 September 2021 and will be for a minimum of three years, although there is likely to be extensions. Interest parties should be aware of the very tight timetable in place which means that there will be a brief period between contract award and service commencement. The estimated annual contract sum is PS5.5m per annum. The approximate amount of residual waste that requires treatment/disposal is 48k tonnes (41k tonnes are derived from Bournemouth and 7k tonnes from Christchurch). This is according to full year data from the financial year 2019-2020. The Council is currently assessing any options for dividing the total into lots due to the waste originating from two different areas and the amounts being produced. BCP Council declared a climate and ecological emergency in 2019, committing the organisation to be carbon neutral by 2030, and the BCP area by 2050. This contract could play a large part in working towards those objectives. Therefore, final destinations of waste are of interest but as yet no single type of treatment/disposal is ruled out. Additionally, if waste cannot be directly delivered then a transfer station within or close to the BCP Council area could be explored.
