## Summary

The East London Waste Authority is currently conducting a tender process for the "Reception, Haulage, Reuse and Recycling Centres Contract" (RHRRC Contract), with the procurement covering various waste transfer and recycling services. The contracting process is currently in the tender stage, with a selective and competitive flexible procedure being utilised. Key dates include the deadline for expressions of interest on 30th July 2025, and the contract is scheduled to commence on 26th June 2026.

The primary procurement location is in London, particularly regions UKI41, UKI52, and UKI53, covering areas managed by the East London Waste Authority and the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Council.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in waste management, logistics, and recycling services. Companies with expertise in waste transfer, soil recycling, and urban refuse disposal will find this tender particularly aligned with their capabilities. The procurement process, which involves both initial and final dialogue stages, provides businesses the chance to showcase their capabilities in gaining a long-term contract extending potentially over fifteen years. Additionally, the inclusion of provisional services like waste education and promotional services opens doors for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy and education. As such, well-established businesses with solid financial and technical capacity, ideally experienced in complex service delivery across multiple sites, are best positioned to compete and thrive from participating in this opportunity.

## Notice

ELWA is procuring a contract for the provision of the following services (without limitation): * Waste transfer services, including the receipt, handling, bulking, transfer and haulage of Contract Waste, including any internal movements between Authority Sites; * Operation and maintenance of the Authority WTS (located at Frog Island and Jenkins Lane), to provide reception, storage and bulking of Contract Waste delivered by the Constituent Councils; * Operation and maintenance of the RRCs (located at Jenkins Lane, Chigwell Road, Frizlands Lane and Gerpins Lane); * The operation and maintenance of a Circular Economy Hub to prepare and sell items suitable for Reuse; * Onward haulage of Contact Waste from the Authority Sites to Authority Contracted Sites for the treatment of Residual Waste, Dry Recycling, Garden Waste and Food Waste; * Onward haulage and Treatment of RHRRC Contractor Retained Waste; * Repair, preparation, Recycling and Reuse of Mixed Residual Waste; * Management and operation of the Bring Bank Sites (provisional service); * Provision of waste education and promotional services; * Management of Waste Containing Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) (provisional service); and * Site improvement and rectification works. Please see "Competitive flexible procedure description" section of this tender notice and the procurement documents for full details of: 1 - the competitive flexible procedure that ELWA is conducting pursuant to s. 20 of the Procurement Act 2023; and 2 - ELWA's requirements for the RHRRC Contract. (Defined terms used in the above list of services are detailed in the draft contract and procurement documents.) The estimated Contract Value of PS466,000,000 is based on ELWA's estimate at the date of notice publication and include extension of the contract for five years following expiry of the initial ten years and three months service delivery term. The estimated value also includes works required pursuant to the contract in addition to any additional works or services which may be required during the initial ten years and three months service delivery period. Therefore, the estimated value is not necessarily the final value of the contract and ELWA reserves the right to vary this contract value (either higher or lower) in the event the scope of the contract varies throughout its term. It is intended as a guide to bidders and the actual value is intended to cover delivery of ELWA's requirements over the full possible term. ELWA is currently undertaking a separate procurement for a Residual Waste Contract (Reference: 2024/S 000-020012 and Procurement Identifier: ocds-h6vhtk-03f9d7). As this procurement is not yet complete, the outcome will influence the range and value of services of this RHRRC Contract/procurement. Additionally, ELWA will be undertaking re-procurement of several other waste contracts in the next two years (in relation to garden waste, food waste and dry recycling) which will influence the range and value of services of this RHRRC Contract/procurement. Those contracts will also be re-procured during the term of this RHRRC Contract.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Options: Details of the primary scope of services and works required for this contract are included in this notice, the procurement documents and draft contract. However, the scope of the procurement is also intended to cover ancillary services and works required to deliver the RHRRC Contract over its full possible term. This could include services and works related to those set out in the draft procurement documents and contract but not explicitly stated. In addition, the actual scope of services and works required could be narrower than set out above.

Renewal: The contract is expected to commence on 26 June 2026, with service commencement expected to commence on 23 December 2027. The initial term of the contract slightly exceeds 10 years and 3 months from the service commencement date (to 31 March 2038), with an option to extend for up to five additional years from expiry of the initial term. The contract, and this procurement, is intended to cover any extension in the period between commencement and service commencement, so the total term of the contract may exceed this estimate.
