## Summary

The Bath and North East Somerset Council has initiated a tender for the purchase of two Material Handling Machines (Wheeled excavators) under the Open procedure. This procurement falls under the goods category and aims to establish a single provider for waste and recycling material management at Household Waste & Recycling Centres. The tender deadline for submissions is 27th February 2023.

This tender opportunity by the Bath and North East Somerset Council presents prospects for businesses involved in supplying material handling equipment and waste management services. Companies offering machinery that ensures safe and efficient material management and meets specific requirements such as noise reduction, safety features, and operational capabilities would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, businesses providing associated maintenance services could also find this tender conducive for business growth.

## Notice

The Council wishes to establish a single provider for the provision of two material handling machines. The Council is managing this procurement in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations. This is a supply and goods contract plus associated and routine maintenance of the supplied machines being procured under the Open procedure. The material handling machines are for the management of waste and recycling materials on our Household Waste & Recycling Centres. The Council is procuring Contract for itself. The council seeks to procure machines that allow the safe and efficient management of materials brought into the household waste and recycling centre. This will involve managing materials tipped in bays on the floor and materials directly tipped in 40-yard containers. The two new machines are replacements for a JCB - JS20MH Material handler and a Caterpillar M318D Wheeled Excavator The operatives will need to have full unobstructed vision and enough boom / stick reach to enable them to sort and crush material in 40-yard containers from the end aspect where we are unable to pull alongside them. We have sensitive neighbours so the machines must operate with minimal noise levels. Safety is a key priority so daily checks, driver maintenance, refuelling etc should be carried out from ground level where possible, should any tasks require climbing onto the machine suitable safety rails and guards are required.
