The extended contract, valued at £1,200,000, will run from 3rd September 2024 to 31st March 2025. This extension aims to maintain service continuity following an earlier failed procurement. The initiative falls under the refuse and waste-related services category (CPV classification 90500000) and takes place in the Cambridgeshire region. The procurement stage is at the Award phase, and Thalia WB ODC Limited has been identified as the supplier. This tender provides substantial business opportunities for companies in the refuse and waste management sector, especially those capable of offering integrated services such as transportation, sorting, and recycling. Given the limited timeframe and the need for expertise, businesses with a strong track record in waste management and established operational capabilities would be well-suited to compete. This extension contract is especially relevant for firms that can ensure seamless service delivery without significant setup costs or time delays. ## Notice This VEAT notice is for the extension of our contract for the Bulking, Transportation, Sorting and Onward Sale for Reprocessing of Recyclable Materials.

The purpose of this extension is to enable the continuation of the Service to enable the Authority to undertake the necessary procurement associated with the Bulking (Lot 1) Services following an earlier failed procurement. Without the Bulking Services, the Re-Processing (Lot 2) Services cannot be effective. The requirements of Regulation 72(1)(b) are met as follows: The requirements of Regulation 72(1)(b) are met as follows: *Necessary additional services not included in the procurement: as set out above the Authority requires the Services to continue to enable the Authority to undertake a further procurement of the Bulking Services, and to effect a smooth and orderly exit from the Contract such that there is no risk to Service continuity overall through this period. *Change of Contractor cannot be made for technical reasons: Thalia has been providing the Services under Contract since the Contract was novated to them in 2022. They have developed significant expertise and knowledge of the Service delivery. Another contractor would not be able to step in and provide the Services without requiring a reasonable period of time to get up to speed. Such a requirement would be disproportionate both to the duration of the extension and the purpose of it.*Change of Contractor cannot be made for economic reasons: Given the purpose of the extension it would not be of economic benefit to the Authority, in managing public money, to be exiting the current Contract and at the same time entering into a comparable arrangement with a new contractor.*Change of Contractor would cause significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of cost: an incoming contractor would have to charge substantial set up costs to establish a new bulking facility which would be a prohibitive cost to the Authority, and there would be insufficient time to get the facility appropriately permitted and licensed by the relevant statutory bodies, and this would require significant resources to support and set up the new collection arrangement which would duplicate costs already incurred, and result in significant inconvenience.*The increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract: the value of the modification PS1,200,000 is under 50% of the anticipated value as set out in the advertised contract notice and is less than 50% of the original contract as set out in the contract award notice. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027181-2024 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated without publication of a contract notice | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 21 Aug 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £1,200,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTH CAMBRIDGESHIRE DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB23 6EA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | South Cambridgeshire | | Electoral ward | Cambourne | | Westminster constituency | St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire | | Delivery location | TLH12 Cambridgeshire CC | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | THALIA WB ODC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90500000 - Refuse and waste related services - 90510000 - Refuse disposal and treatment ## Release History - 23 Aug 2024 at 18:05 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027181-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:013568-2014:TEXT:EN:HTML - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/viewNotice.html?noticeId=884625886 - https://www.scambs.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
