## Summary

The procurement process involves Suffolk County Council appointing a provider for the operation and management of the Waste Transfer Station in Haverhill, Suffolk, as part of a tender titled "Waste Transfer Station Operation & Haulage for Haverhill Area". This procurement falls under the services category, specifically environmental services. The contract is active and covers the period from 1st October 2021 to 30th November 2044, with the procurement method being a limited negotiated procedure without a public notice. Key dates include the award being signed on 20th September 2020, and the service is set to commence in May 2022.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management and logistics, particularly those capable of handling refuse transport and recycling services. Companies that provide environmentally sustainable waste solutions or have the necessary operational capacity to manage transfer stations would be particularly well-suited to compete. With an estimated contract value of £12 million, successful participation in this procurement could enable businesses to expand their service offerings in the growing sector of environmental services, thus facilitating long-term growth and collaboration with local authorities.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

To operate and manage a Waste Transfer Station for the receipt of residual waste, recyclable and organic wastes, primarily collected by West Suffolk Council in the Haverhill area of Suffolk. The provider will also be required to provide the haulage of residual waste to the Suffolk Energy from Waste facility, plus recyclable waste to the Materials Recovery Facility at Great Blakenham, and may also be required to provide haulage of other waste materials from the transfer stations. For the period 1st October 2021 to 30th November 2044. Additional information: The contract represents 16,000 tonnes per annum (10%) of the annual tonnage which goes through transfer stations in Suffolk. The Council is undertaking a procurement exercise using the above threshold restricted procedure for operation of our transfer stations for the 147,000 tonnes per annum (90%) with the contract to commence May 2022

### Procurement Information

In accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) competition is absent for technical reasons where no reasonable alternative exists. A search on the Environment Agency's website has shown that there are no alternative licensed sites within a reasonable distance of Haverhill. Furthermore, due to the low tonnage involved, it would not be efficient to build and operate a new transfer station in isolation in this area and nor could a different operator provide a cost- effective service.
