### Lot Information

Lot 1

The University is appointing a contractor to deliver waste and recycling management services, covering all required waste streams across all campuses. As a large, multi-disciplinary organisation, the University generates various forms of waste that requires removal off-site. The University currently has 3 waste categories: - waste that cannot be recycled, - recyclable waste (DMR - dry mixed recycling; glass; paper; and food waste) - hazardous/clinical waste Whilst this approach has enabled the University to achieve a recycling rate of around 60% of total waste produced, as well as total landfill avoidance against its benchmark year of 2013/14, the focus now is to seek an efficient, customer focused and innovative, quality non-hazardous (general domestic) waste and recycling collection service. The service must support the University's ability to deliver upon Welsh Government targets, up to and including 2030. The University aims to be a Net Zero Carbon organisation by 2030 and increasing our recycling rates to at least 70% by 2025 (or earlier) and therefore, we wish to ensure all opportunities to reduce our environmental impacts are fully delivered and are interested in innovative ways of improving all elements of the Service and/or delivering efficiencies. In submitting a bid, contractors must include for the supply of all labour, externally placed waste containers (e.g. wheelie/static containers/ bins), materials, transport and associated facilities to ensure the effective delivery of the service. In further recognition of the importance of all forms of sustainability, the University, in conjunction with the other Welsh HEI's that are members of the Higher Education Purchasing Consortium Wales ('HEPCW'), have adopted the NetPositiveFutures sustainability portal. This portal enables and assists suppliers to organisations such as Cardiff Met to develop and enhance their sustainability action plans. The portal also tracks progress against those plans and helps promote the achievements made. Please see a link to this portal below: https://supplierengagementhe.net-positive.org It is a condition of award for the successful contractor to register and create an action plan on this portal prior to the commencement of any work. If your organisation is already registered on the portal, please ensure that only one action plan is submitted, to avoid duplication. The University also uses SafeContractor to verify the compliance of its contractors. As the leading UK Health and Safety accreditation, SafeContractor provides peace of mind that contractors are pre-approved to carry out the work activities, with up-to-date insurance, as well as other regulated areas such as GDPR, modern slavery, anti-bribery and more (where relevant). These checks are carried out, on the University's behalf annually and the University will have visibility of this through an online system, which allows us to view the documents and responses. It is a condition of award for the successful contractor to become SafeContractor accredited following award of contract. There is an annual cost for this accreditation, however this is dependent on the size of the contractor's organisation. This cost will be borne by the contractor.

Renewal: Two, one year contract extensions are available subject to performance and allied to the University's sustainable development requirements. A 3 year contract with two options.
