## Notice

The Market was built in 2008 and operates as a wholesale fruit and vegetable market. It covers an operational area of some 26 acres. It comprises 2 main buildings - The Produce Hall (c.82,000 sq ft) and The Flower Hall (c27,500sq ft). In addition, the site encompasses an area for the management of the Market's waste and recycling activities, a Security Kiosk, a Staff Welfare Room, an overspill car park, overnight lorry park and a staff and visitors car park used at weekends for a Sunday market. There are over circa. 90 units which host approximately 70 Tenants. These Tenants are predominantly fresh fruit and/or vegetable sellers. There are a few Tenants who sell fresh flowers and some others who supply 'dry goods' such as baskets, vases and other sundries. There are circa 10 other units, the main uses of which are offices and banks, and one is a cafe. We are seeking contractor(s) to deliver high standard services of Cleaning, Waste and Recycling to the market and its tenants. The tenants take an active interest in the market and are willing to work with service providers to achieve better waste management outcomes.

### Lot Information

Cleaning and Waste Management

Lot S1 relates to the cleaning and litter removal from external common working areas and internal trading halls and the collection and preparation for recycling / disposal of all waste generated on site by Tenants and others located on the site.* The waste management contract refers purely to the collection and storage of all waste generated on site ready for removal and disposal off site. The contract for the transport of waste from the site is a separate lot. (* Note; the cleaning of other areas, including offices and toilets, is covered by a separate lot.)

Common Part Cleaning Services

The services shall comprise the cleaning of internal and specified external areas of the buildings located at the Western International Market. Day to day cleaning shall be carried out between the hours 08:00am until 16:00pm (Tenderers should propose when) with the exception of public toilets, for which the Contractor will also be responsible for overnight cleaning. Other cleaning services such as window and cladding cleaning shall be carried out on agreed dates or during agreed periods, as agreed with the Authorised Officer.

Drainage Cleaning Services

The Contractor shall provide all supervision, labour, materials, and equipment necessary for the maintenance and cleaning the drains and drainage systems. The scope of regular services in this Contract includes: a) Internal gullies. The Contractor will clear, clean and disinfect all gullies on a monthly basis. The Contractor will refill with water and disinfectant. The Contractor will also clean the grates and generally leave the site in a clean and tidy state. b) Oil/Water Interceptors. The Contractor will empty all 50 litre interceptors on a monthly basis (total 2,000 gallons). Tenderers should provide a separate rate to empty these. c) External silt pits and slot drains: The Contractor will clear and clean every 3 months. However, these are alarmed, and so additional call outs may be required when the alarm indicates they are near capacity. Tenderers are required to provide an additional call-out charge. d) Foul interceptor (1,200l). The Contractor will empty the foul interceptor on a quarterly basis. However, this is alarmed, and so additional call outs may be required when the alarm indicate that it is near capacity. Tenderers are required to provide an additional call-out charge.

Recycling Services

The Authority is mindful of its target aim of achieving the maximum possible efficiency in the disposal of waste from the site whilst ensuring economic effectiveness. High quality monthly data reporting, which will help the Authority to achieve its aim of understanding the nature and quantity of waste that it produces to reduce costs, will be an integral part of any contract. Bids are invited from specialist providers/recycling experts for this sub lot in isolation based on the premise that the waste will be collected on behalf of the bidder who will be responsible for working with the Lot S1 contractor to facilitate removal /recycling. The optimum economic and environmental approach to waste disposal is therefore now sought based on sound principles in terms of recycling and generating economies of scale and financial benefits where feasible from waste removal.
