## Summary

Staffordshire County Council has finalised a contract for waste disposal at the Hanford Energy Recovery Facility, in collaboration with Stoke-on-Trent City Council. This procurement falls under the 'Refuse and waste related services' category and involves a short-term agreement extending from April 2025 to March 2030. The procurement method used was limited, as competition was deemed absent for technical reasons per Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The main procurement category is services, and the contract, valued at £26.7 million, was signed on 10 March 2025. The project is located in the UKG2 region of the United Kingdom and is crucial for fulfilling statutory obligations for waste disposal in North Staffordshire.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in waste management, particularly those with the capability to handle substantial waste volumes and provide flexible, localised solutions. Companies specialising in waste collection, transportation, and energy recovery services will find this tender particularly relevant. The awarded contract to Stoke-on-Trent City Council underscores the importance of possessing technical expertise and existing infrastructure to succeed in such procurement processes. Businesses looking to compete in similar future tenders should focus on offering innovative and technically robust solutions to meet stringent local and environmental requirements.

## Notice

Staffordshire County Council have secured short term arrangements (April 2025 - March 2030) for the disposal of waste in the North of Staffordshire. The waste supply agreement has been developed with Stoke on Trent City Council to provide continuity to an existing partnership arrangement that expires in March 2025. As the Waste Disposal Authority, Staffordshire County Council has a statutory obligation to provide waste disposal solutions for the waste collected at the kerbside by the Waste Collection Authorities i.e. the District and Borough Councils.

### Procurement Information

The agreement has been made on the basis it can be demonstrated (in accordance with Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015) that the required service can only be provided by particular provider (in this case, SOTCC) because competition is absent for technical reasons. Waste industry focused Technically, Environmentally and Economically Practicable (TEEP) analysis has been undertaken to demonstrate the technical reasons that the competition is absent. Of the 55,000 tonnes (t) of statutory residual waste delivered to the Hanford ERF by SCC, approximately 35,000t are direct delivered via Refuse Collection Vehicles (RCVs), with the remaining 20,000t delivered via transfer stations. For the 35,000t direct delivered material, it is not operationally viable to transport this waste long distances on RCVs without substantially impacting the WCAs waste operations and negatively impacting residents' kerbside bin collections. Consequently, the disposal solution needs to accommodate short haulage distances for direct delivered material or include the provision of a suitable local transfer station with sufficient capacity, availability and flexibility for this material. The remaining 20,000t delivered via transfer stations is committed as balancing tonnage at SCC's other ERF facilities to manage availability obligations and thus requires substantial flexibility to meet SCC's existing contractual agreements.
