## Summary

The procurement process involves Gateshead Council as the buying organisation, seeking tenders for "The Provision and Operation of a Materials Recovery Facility including Haulage". This service falls under the refuse and waste related services industry, specifically aimed at processing materials in the region of Gateshead and South Tyneside, UK. The procurement was conducted using a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, on an urgent basis due to the unforeseen liquidation of the previous contractor. The contract has a value of £2,430,634 and spans a duration of 13 months, running from March 2021 to April 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in waste management, recycling services, and materials recovery. Companies capable of processing and transporting recyclables would be well-suited to compete, especially those with experience in local authority contracts. The urgency and specificity of the requirements may favour suppliers who can quickly mobilise resources and demonstrate compliance with operational standards set by Gateshead Council and South Tyneside Council.

## Notice

This contract is being led by Gateshead Council on behalf of Gateshead Council and South Tyneside Council for the provision and operation of materials recovery facility/ies to process materials.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The requirements of the contract are for a 13-month contract for: * the provision of a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) to process and sort collected materials; * Gateshead Council has a designated delivery point to which it delivers the materials collected from household recycling bins. The Contractor will be responsible for the collection of the materials from the designated delivery point for transfer to its appropriate facility for processing; * South Tyneside will provide its own delivery point from which the contractor will transfer the delivered authorised material to its appropriate facility for processing; * the transfer of the segregated materials to suitable merchants or reprocessors; * the provision of a complete record of all materials delivered, the interim processors/outlets and the ultimate destination of each material; * monthly analysis of the materials carried out in accordance with the MRF Code of Practice.

### Procurement Information

The award of a 13-month contract on terms substantially similar to the existing contract for the provision and operation of a materials recovery facility to serve the Boroughs of Gateshead and South Tyneside to be awarded to Regen Waste Limited. The award is strictly necessary in circumstances where the time limits for the open or restricted procedure cannot be complied with. The liquidation of the contractor contracted to deliver the materials recycling facility from 1st April 2021 leaves insufficient time for the open or restricted procedure to be followed and the liquidation was unforeseeable and causes extreme urgency in relation to the award of the contract.
