## Summary

The procurement process for the "Provision of a Waste Transfer Station" involves South Oxfordshire District Council and Vale of White Horse District Council, focusing on refuse and waste-related services. Located in Oxfordshire, the tender falls under the industry category "services." The contract covers a waste transfer facility used for co-mingled dry recycling, and the councils seek to change the current situation. This process followed an "open" procurement method under an open procedure. The initial tender was active as of 25th May 2024, with a procurement stage progressing to the award by 2nd July 2025, valued at £2,214,800. The current status indicates a completed contract, awarded to FCC Recycling (UK) on 22nd April 2025. The submission deadline was 6th September 2024, implying a competitive selection process leading to the award.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses in the waste management and recycling sectors, specifically those capable of handling extensive waste collection operations, to expand their service offerings. With an average annual collection of 28,000 tonnes of dry mixed recyclables, service providers with the capacity to process such volumes would be well-suited to compete. Businesses that emphasize quality, carbon reduction, energy efficiency, and social value are particularly desirable, as these criteria hold significant weight in the selection process. Given the expansion plans and the councils' dedication to top-tier recycling performance, businesses that align with environmental initiatives such as Extending Producer Responsibilities and the Deposit Return Scheme may find growth opportunities in this contract.

## Notice

a) South Oxfordshire District Council and Vale of White Horse District Council (the Councils) operate a shared household waste collection service. This is currently subject to a contractual arrangement with a company that lease a site that includes a Waste Transfer Facility. This will change going forward. b) Through the shared collection contract, the Council's currently provide separate kerbside collection of co-mingled dry recycling, food waste, garden waste and residual waste and are in the top 5 local authorities in the country for recycling performance c) the current waste transfer facilities are only used for "dry mixed recyclate" (DMR) which is the co-mingled recyclable waste stream. The non-recyclable (residual), garden waste and food waste all have existing in-district drop-off points and are not included in the contract being tendered. d) the current transfer station is not secured for the long term. Therefore, the Councils are seeking alternative transfer provision

### Lot Information

Lot 1

a) The DMR is currently fully co-mingled, so includes all plastics (except for polystyrene, P VC, other hard plastics and plastic film), cans and tins, glass, cartons (including Tetrapaks) and paper and card. Small Electricals, household batteries and textiles are also collected in smaller quantities using baskets under the body of the RCVs. b) The average amount of DMR collected annually by both Councils combined is 28,000 tonnes. This translates to twenty to twenty five vehicle drops per day. c) Whilst the population of the two districts continues to grow, measures in the Environment Act around Extending Producer Responsibilities and the Deposit Return Scheme means the expectation is that tonnages will remain between 25,000 and 30,000 tonnes per annum

Renewal: The contract for a waste transfer station will be required, in some form, for the future
