This preliminary market engagement aims to discuss the Reception, Haulage, and operation of Reuse and Recycling Centres. The contract is set to replace the existing Integrated Waste Management Services until it expires in December 2027. Key deadlines include the submission of responses by 14 October 2024. The engagement exercises are taking place in the London Boroughs of Barking and Dagenham, Havering, Newham, and Redbridge, and will later inform the formal procurement process, which is set to commence via a contract notice publication. This tender represents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialised in waste management services, including refuse disposal, transport, and recycling operations. Companies with experience in managing waste infrastructure, such as mechanical biological treatment and material recovery facilities, are particularly well-suited to compete. By participating in ELWA's market engagement, businesses can influence future service delivery models and align their capabilities with the requirements of this lucrative contract, which will provide stability and business continuity through 2027 and beyond. ## Notice This notice is published to advertise a preliminary market engagement being conducted by the East London Waste Authority (ELWA). ELWA wishes to engage with market operators regarding a new contract opportunity for the Reception and Haulage of the waste streams for which ELWA is responsible for, and the operation of Reuse and Recycling Centres; the Reception, Haulage and Reuse and Recycling Centres Contract (RHRRC Contract). ELWA's existing arrangements for these services are currently discharged via an Integrated Waste Management Services Contract (IWMS Contract) which expires at the end of 2027. Further details are contained in this notice at section II.2.4 which sets out the issues which ELWA is seeking to discuss with market operators and ELWA has also published a Market Operator Briefing Note on the Bravo Portal (https://lbbd.bravosolution.co.uk/), alongside this PIN. The date for submission of response to this preliminary market engagement is 14 October 2024. ELWA will then arrange meetings with respondents to discuss key topics. Participation in this preliminary market engagement exercise is not a requirement for participation in the forthcoming procurement, which shall be formally commenced through publication of a contract notice. ### Lot Information Lot 1 ELWA is responsible for the disposal of the Local Authority Collected Waste (LACW) collected by (or on behalf of) the London Boroughs of Barking and Dagenham, Havering, Newham and Redbridge (the Constituent Councils) and to arrange for places to be provided at which persons resident in its area may deposit their household waste and for the disposal of waste so deposited. ELWA is also responsible for the disposal of commercial waste collected by the Constituent Councils. These services are currently delivered via an Integrated Waste Management Services Contract (IWMS Contract), which was signed in December 2002 with ELWA Ltd (the IWMS Contractor) and is operated by Renewi (the IWMS Operator). The IWMS Contract includes infrastructure for mechanical biological treatment, waste transfer, and Reuse and Recycling Centres (RRCs) for use by the general public. The IWMS Operator also has a number of sub-contractors for services, including the provision of material recovery facilities for mixed recycling, offtake of materials, transfer and RRC facilities. The IWMS Contract expires in December 2027. Further details on ELWA and the services it provides can be found at https://eastlondonwaste.gov.uk/. ELWA and the Constituent Councils produced a Joint Strategy for East London's Resources and Waste (Joint Strategy) for the period from 2027 to 2057, which was ratified by all five authorities in February 2022. Further details on the Joint Strategy can be found at https://eastlondonwaste.gov.uk/jointstrategy/. Following the ratification of the Joint Strategy, ELWA set up the Procurement and Contract Expiry Programme (PACE Programme) to manage the complex work associated with: * Contract Expiry and Transition: the activities required to manage the expiry and demobilisation of the IWMS Contract; * Future Services Delivery: the activities required to ensure that new services arrangements are in place at the expiry of the IWMS Contract so that services continue to be delivered without interruption. The Outline Business Case (OBC), part of the Future Services Delivery component of the PACE Programme, was then produced to determine the preferred service delivery model for the new services at the expiry of the IWMS Contract. The OBC concluded that the proposed approach to procuring the services to replace the IWMS Contract will be a disaggregated service delivery model with new contracts for the following waste services: Residual Waste Disposal (including Bulky Waste and Street Cleansing); Waste Reception, Haulage and Reuse and Recycling Centres; Treatment of Garden Waste; Reprocessing of Dry Recycling; and Treatment of Food Waste. The Authority formally approved the OBC at the Authority Meeting on 29 September 2023. Part 1 of the report is available at this link: Agenda-Item-04 September 2023.pdf (eastlondonwaste.gov.uk). To inform the development of these contracts, ELWA will be carrying out market engagement exercises. The procurement for the Residual Waste Contract is currently underway and this preliminary market engagement seeks to engage with market operators who may wish to participate in the procurement of the RHRRC Contract. Consequently, ELWA invites you confirm in writing that your organisation wishes to participate in a meeting with ELWA and its advisers to discuss key topics set out in the Market Operator Briefing Note and any further topics that you wish to raise. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031420-2024 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 29 Jun 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | EAST LONDON WASTE AUTHORITY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E15 2ST | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Newham | | Electoral ward | Stratford | | Westminster constituency | Stratford and Bow | | Delivery location | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90500000 - Refuse and waste related services - 90510000 - Refuse disposal and treatment - 90512000 - Refuse transport services - 90513000 - Non-hazardous refuse and waste treatment and disposal services - 90513100 - Household-refuse disposal services - 90513200 - Urban solid-refuse disposal services - 90533000 - Waste-tip management services ## Release History - 1 Oct 2024 at 14:57 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031420-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://eastlondonwaste.gov.uk/ - https://eastlondonwaste.gov.uk/jointstrategy/ - https://lbbd.bravosolution.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
