## Summary

This tender, initiated by arc21, a public authority operating under central government and Northern Irish devolved regulations, invites proposals for the provision of services related to the receipt, storage, and transfer of mixed dry recyclable material. Located in Belfast, Northern Ireland, this procurement process follows an open procedure, allowing businesses to submit their electronic tenders by 6th August 2026. Enquiries can be made until 23rd July 2026. The contract, valued at £1,500,000 gross, offers a substantial opportunity in the services industry, specifically relating to refuse and waste management within the region of UKN0, United Kingdom. The award period extends until 11th September 2026, with the contract potentially commencing on this date and running through 10th September 2029, with possible extensions up to four additional years.

The tender provides significant prospects for businesses capable of handling bulk processing and management of recyclable materials. Companies well-suited to compete for this contract will have strong technical capabilities and financial competitiveness, as 70% of the award criteria are based on price, with the remaining 30% on quality. SMEs are particularly encouraged to participate. This contract offers an opportunity to secure a long-term engagement with a public sector authority, with possible expansion to other waste streams and ad hoc requirements, thereby contributing to sustainable business growth and increased market presence in the waste management sector.

## Notice

The Authority invites tenders for the provision of services primarily for the receipt and bulking of mixed dry recyclables that have been collected by Newry, Mourne and Down District Council prior to bulking and transfer to a nominated Materials Recovery Facility. Due to the nature of the Relevant Member Councils requirements, there is a specific geographical constraint which defines the location of the Delivery Point to which the mixed dry recyclables are to be delivered for this Contract. Over the Term, there is the possibility but no guarantee, that other material waste streams may also be included/removed within the scope of the Contract and/or the nature and degree of segregation of the mixed dry recyclables may change. In addition, the Authority may also use this contract for other ad hoc loads, which may be utilised, as a contingency arrangement for the Relevant Member Council for other waste streams. The appointed Contractor will also be responsible for collating and reporting data and reporting performance relevant to the Contract.
