## Summary

The NHS National Services Scotland has awarded a framework agreement for the collection and disposal of non-clinical recyclates and general waste to multiple suppliers. The contract, with an active status, was signed on September 15, 2022, and has a total value of £4,500,000. The procurement process was completed under a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement stage is now in the award phase, with the contracting authority being The Common Services Agency.

This framework agreement presents business growth opportunities for waste management companies capable of providing services across various waste streams such as residual waste, glass, plastics, and more. Suppliers involved in the current contract include both large-scale and SME companies. The NHS Health Board sites across Scotland, excluding NHS Shetland, NHS Orkney, and NHS Western Isles, are the primary locations of service delivery. Potential suppliers can review the contract details and contact the contracting authority for further information or to discuss potential future tenders.

## Notice

The scope is a national framework agreement for the collection and disposal of non-clinical (domestic) recyclates and general waste from NHS Health board sites across Scotland (with the exception of NHS Shetland, NHS Orkney and NHS Western Isles)in 8 bundles. Bundle 1 comprises 7 waste streams and candidates must be able to provide all 7 streams: residual waste, DMR, glass, plastics, cardboard, paper, metal (cans). Bundle 2 is for confidential waste. Bundle 3 is for food waste. Bundle 4 is for batteries. Bundle 5 is for fluorescent tubes. Bundle 6 is for bulky waste. Bundle 7 is for furniture. Note that the requirement for containers for waste applies only to those containers provided by the contractors as part of the waste service rather than for separate purchase. Candidates will indicate which lots they are interested in. The NHSS has waste targets which are required by the Scottish Government and the contractor must provide services to assist the NHSS in meeting these targets. The contractor will be required to provide containers and other waste equipment to the NHSS Health Board as required to store the waste prior to collection.

### Procurement Information

Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee. Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances: The additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the Covid-19 pandemic (and recovery of services) to maintain necessary supply and remove unnecessary disruption from the Authority at this time in line with Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The priorities for NSS, NHS Scotland and likely those suppliers who would wish to be part of a tender process (due to severe market conditions) have changed, as a result it is a necessary step to delay start of new tender process necessitating a 12 month extension to current framework revising expiry to September 2023.
