The council has a statutory duty to manage closed landfill sites under the Environmental Protection Act. The contract, valued at £455,000 GBP, covers maintenance activities at six closed landfill sites. The contract period runs from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2031, with a possible renewal option. The submission deadline for the tender is 20th November 2023, and electronic submissions are required. This opportunity is suitable for businesses offering landfill management and environmental monitoring services. The tender process, currently in the active stage, presents a chance for companies to engage with public sector environmental projects. Businesses with expertise in environmental services and compliance with the Corporate Manslaughter Act may find this opportunity particularly relevant. The West Sussex County Council is the buying organisation overseeing the procurement process. ## Notice West Sussex County Council has a Statutory Duty under the provisions of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, c.43, Part II, s61, to maintain and manage closed landfill sites that it is responsible for. There are currently 6 closed landfill sites for which the authority is responsible. The key liabilities associated with these sites are the environmental discharges of leachate to water courses and methane to air. There is also some responsibility to ensure the facilities are safe and appropriately secure, under the Corporate Manslaughter Act 2007. ### Lot Information Lot 1 There are currently six closed landfill sites for which the authority is responsible. The sites are all unlined, un-engineered, working on the 'dilute and disperse' principle. The key liabilities associated with these sites are the environmental discharges of leachate to water courses and methane to air. There is also some responsibility to ensure the facilities are safe and appropriately secure, under the Corporate Manslaughter Act 2007. Each site has a specific maintenance schedule to maintain access for the purposes of environmental monitoring and to keep the sites in a secure and orderly manner. A healthy cover of vegetation across the waste area is important to reduce surface water ingress, which in turn can impact the function of the landfill, by increasing leachate and gas production. The Council owns three sites; Baystone Farm, Faygate and Westhampnett, with the remaining sites owned by private landowners. Despite not being landowner, the Council retains the environmental liability for these sites, but does not have control over the use of the land, e.g. for grazing Renewal: The Commencement Date shall be 01/04/2024. The maximum duration of the Contract Term will therefore be 7 years. However, no guarantee or commitment can be given to the initial and future value of any work arising from this contract. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029772-2023 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | 20 Nov 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2024 - 31 Mar 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £455,000 | | Lots value | £455,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WEST SUSSEX COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | CHICHESTER | | Post town | Portsmouth | | Postcode | PO19 1RQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ27 West Sussex (South West) | | Local authority | Chichester | | Electoral ward | Chichester Central | | Westminster constituency | Chichester | | Delivery location | TLJ27 West Sussex (South West) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90531000 - Landfill management services - 90710000 - Environmental management - 90711500 - Environmental monitoring other than for construction ## Release History - 10 Oct 2023 at 08:47 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029772-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://atamis-7669.my.site.com/s/Welcome - https://westsussex-esourcingportal.force.com/s/Welcome - https://www.westsussex.gov.uk/default.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
