## Summary

The Central Bedfordshire Council has completed a tender process for a six-month contract titled "Reprocessing of recycling collected from the kerbside," which falls under the waste management industry. The procurement method used was limited, awarded without prior publication of a call for competition due to exceptional circumstances stemming from the Covid pandemic and associated regulatory complexities. This contract, which has a value of £489,000, was signed on 29 March 2021, and it allows for the continued sorting and reprocessing of recycling jointly with Bedford Borough Council at Milton Keynes Council's Materials Recycling Facility run by Viridor Waste Management.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in waste management services, particularly those capable of handling large quantities of recyclables. Companies that focus on recycling technologies, logistics, and processing facilities would be well-suited to compete for future contracts as the council plans to re-tender in light of changing demands and regulations. Furthermore, businesses with the capacity to adapt quickly to changes in waste processing due to increased household collection rates may find this sector increasingly accessible for growth.

Lot 1

A 6-month contract to enable the continuation of reprocessing of recycling collected from the kerbside.

### Procurement Information

The Council are evaluating options for re-tendering this contract together with neighbouring authorities. The procurement of this contract was being developed to account for the timing and implications of Brexit and the UK's national Resource and Waste Strategy which were both delayed. Due to the Covid pandemic and the Council's workload in dealing with other key priorities it has not been possible to progress this procurement in the timeframe envisaged. Due to the Pandemic the Council are also experiencing increased tonnage as a result in the shift of materials from the commercial sector to household kerb side collection and the impact of this is still being evaluated locally and regionally. Therefore the Council is exercising the provisions available under Regulation 32(c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, namely that for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with. This is a short 6-month contract to allow time to undertake the planned re-procurement.
