The process is active and divided into three lots: Lot 1 for the treatment and disposal of residual waste, Lot 2 for the operation and management of household waste recycling centres, and Lot 3 which combines the services of both Lot 1 and Lot 2. The contracts will commence on 1 April 2025 and run for fifteen years, with break options at the end of year 7 and year 10. The procurement follows a competitive dialogue method as per the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The estimated total contract value is GBP 255,000,000, with final awards to be made based on the criteria outlined in the procurement documents. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management and recycling services. By participating, companies can secure long-term contracts that offer stability and growth potential. Suppliers with expertise in refuse disposal, treatment, and recycling, as well as those skilled in managing recycling centres, are well-suited to compete for this tender. The competitive dialogue process allows for detailed discussions between the Council and potential suppliers, enabling tailored solutions and fostering partnerships that drive business expansion. ## Notice North Northamptonshire Council (the "Authority") is seeking one or more suitably qualified and experienced suppliers to deliver the following services: (1) Treatment & Disposal of Household Waste; and (2) Operation and Management of Household Waste Recycling Centres. The scope of these services is further detailed in the procurement documents made available on publication of this notice and in the Lot specific descriptions further below. Bidders should note that the scope of the services may change during the life of the eventual contracts(s). Where the nature of any change is known at this time then the Authority has detailed this in the procurement documents. This procurement is being undertaken using a competitive dialogue process, in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Authority's own Contract Procedure Rules. The procurement is divided into three (3) Lots as follows: Lot 1: Treatment & Disposal of Residual Waste ("Residual Service"); Lot 2: Operation and Management of Household Waste Recycling Centres ("HWRC Service"); and Lot 3 - Treatment & Disposal of Residual Waste and Operation and Management of Household Waste Recycling Centres. The Authority intends to award a separate contract for each of the Residual Service and the HWRC Service even if the same supplier is selected for Both Services. Lot 3 has been included as an optional Lot not to provide a combined service under a single contract but to enable a bidder bidding for both Lots to identify the financial saving or discount that would apply should they be appointed as the contractor for both services. Further detail on the approach to managing the Lots during the procurement process is set out in the procurement documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the Authority has not designed this procurement with the intention that the same bidder must be successful for both services. Bidders may submit for either or both of Lot 1 and Lot 2. A bidder may only submit for Lot 3 where they have submitted for both Lot 1 and Lot 2 or they have submitted for only one of Lot 1 or Lot 2 but are submitting a joint bid for Lot 3 with another bidder who has bid for the other of Lot 1/Lot 2. Final award will be made in accordance with the award criteria and evaluation approach set out in the procurement documents. If Lot 3 is awarded then Lots 1 and 2 will not be awarded (and vice versa). The Authority will apply the selection criteria outlined in the procurement documents to limit the number of bidders taken through to the dialogue stage as further detailed below and in the procurement documents. The Authority does not intend to reduce the number of bidders down during the dialogue stage by apply the award criteria. All estimated values referred to in this notice exclude VAT and indexation. ### Lot Information Treatment and Disposal of Residual Waste The Authority is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced supplier to provide services for the Treatment & Disposal of Residual Waste, in line with the requirements of the contract and detailed specification.
