The initial contract term is for 3 years with possibility of extending the term by a further 2 years to a maximum total term of 5 years in increments to be agreed, subject to the agreement and performance of both parties. Suppliers could bid on the basis of utilising sub-contracting arrangements, however the lead supplier / contractor is required to maintain overall responsibility for delivery of all contract requirements. Suppliers could submit tenders in respect of one or both of two Lot options, being: - Lot 1 - Core Waste Stream Requirements - Lot 2 - Core & Non-Core Waste Stream Requirements The estimated value of the contact in respect of each Lot option could range from approximately: - Lot 1 - PS75,000 - PS100,000 per annum - Lot 2 - PS100,000 - PS150,000 per annum The actual value of the contract is variable and will be driven by trade levels at the port which will determine the volume of waste which will require collection, therefore the values stated above are non-binding.

The Council notified all bidders of award of the contract on 11th July to Biffa Waste Services Ltd under Lot 2 for contract start on 1st November 2023.
