## Summary

The Scottish Borders Council is initiating a tender process titled "The Provision of Residual Waste Treatment," which is classified under the services industry category. This procurement is taking place in Newtown St Boswells, UK, and is currently in the Tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 27th July 2018. The Council, which manages around 42,000 tonnes of residual waste annually, aims to establish a reliable solution for waste treatment and disposal, in compliance with upcoming regulatory requirements that prohibit the landfill of biodegradable municipal waste starting from January 2021. This competitive procedure with negotiation invites various bidders to participate in a selective procurement process to find a haulage, treatment, and disposal partner.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in waste management, haulage, and environmental services. Businesses that excel in handling municipal, bulky, commercial, and demolition waste will be well-suited to compete for the various lots available in this contract. Suitable candidates should demonstrate robust financial capabilities, with minimum yearly turnover requirements depending on the lot, alongside proven experience in similar projects. Engaging in this contract could also provide a platform for companies to make a positive community impact through compliance with the Scottish Borders Council’s expectations for social, economic, and environmental outcomes.

## Notice

The Authority currently manages around 42000 tonnes of residual waste per annum. The majority of this waste is deposited at Easter Langlee landfill site which is owned and operated by the Authority. A decision was taken not to expand the Easter Langlee landfill site once its current capacity is exhausted (by mid-2019) but instead develop a new Waste Transfer Station in its place. This will enable the Authority to comply with the ban on sending biodegradable municipal waste to landfill which comes into effect from 1st January 2021 by exporting waste out of the Borders for treatment and disposal. The Authority reserves the right to take responsibility for haulage for part of the Contract Waste to the Contractors Delivery Site in order to gain benefits through utilising its own Authority Haulage Vehicles. The Authority is looking for a haulage, treatment and disposal solution that provides a reliable and robust means of managing contract waste from mid 2019.
