### Lot Information

Lot 1

Glasgow City Council is inviting a suitable Contractor to bid for the Reception, Collection, Recycling, and Treatment of Bulk Waste. Glasgow City Council provides an uplift service for bulk items of domestic waste for residents in the city. Residents are also able to take bulk waste to four recycling centres. On average, 24,000 tonnes per annum of bulk household waste is bulked at our transfer stations for onward processing. Tonnages fluctuate year on year therefore the council can only provide an estimated tonnage based upon previous years tonnage. Bulk waste will be delivered by the council or collected by the contractor from one of three waste transfer stations. It is estimated that 75% of tonnage will be delivered by the council and 25% of tonnage will be collected by the contractor however these levels may vary. The Council is committed to diverting waste from landfill and to increase the level of recycling in the city. This contract will contribute towards this commitment. The contractor will be required to treat bulk waste to maximise recycling, re-use, treatment and diversion of waste from landfill. It is a requirement of this contract that a minimum of 60% of the bulk waste materials are recycled. The contractor will be required to demonstrate this via monthly management information reporting which will be monitored via Key Performance Indicators. Contractors are to provide detail, via the management information reporting as to where the council's bulk waste materials are sent for recycling or further treatment. All further recycling or treatment is to be in line with SEPA's (or any equivalent) licensing and regulatory requirements. For the purposes of this Contract the Council has set a maximum average round trip distance of 70 miles to the contractor's treatment premises. It is detailed in the ITT documents how this will be assessed. Any bidder that does not meet this criteria will not be progressed to the evaluation stage. This is a pass/fail criteria. As part of the tender, bidders are required to take a minimum of one trial load from each waste transfer station prior to submitting their bid. This is a mandatory requirement for bidding. This contract will be let on a one lot basis this being the most effective way for council operations to manage the contract.. Economic Operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Renewal: There is an option to extend for up to two years. The extensions will be taken in either one or two extension awards of up to 12 months.
