## Summary

Dumfries and Galloway Council is engaging in a planned procurement process aimed at sourcing treatment and disposal services for various waste streams from Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) and other locations. The contract, titled "Various Waste Streams from HWRCs and Other Sources," has an estimated value of £4,700,000 and falls under the refuse and waste related services category. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a future notice expected to be published on 18 July 2022. It will encompass multiple lots covering a spectrum of waste management services, particularly in Dumfries, UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in waste management, recycling, and environmental services. Companies offering innovative treatment solutions that align with the waste hierarchy principles are particularly well-suited for submission. The range of specific services required includes collection, recycling, and disposal of various waste types, suggesting that both large waste management firms and specialised small to medium enterprises could find lucrative opportunities to compete in this contract.

### Lot Information

This is the material from the dust extraction system of the MBT. The dust is contained in large bags sometimes referred to as "tonne bags" or "elephant bags". Additional information: The proposed lotting structure might be a subject to change.

Treatment and recycling, recovery, or disposal of MBT plant Belt Sweepings

This output from the MBT is the overspill from some of the transport belts in the refinements section of the MBT plant. It is predominantly a very dusty material with some Refuse Derived Fuel and Solid Recovered Fuel within it, and some non-ferrous metal. It is currently collected in a skip. Additional information: The proposed lotting structure might be a subject to change.

Contingency for Residual Waste reception and treatment

Contingency arrangements for the reception and treatment or landfill disposal of primarily residual waste, but possibly other non-hazardous waste streams. Normally for one or two days due to breakdown or plant maintenance at DGC's MBT plant. But on rare occasions planned plant maintenance may last for several weeks.
