## Summary

Dumfries and Galloway Council, located at Carruthers House, Dumfries, is conducting a tender for the provision of waste treatment and disposal services specifically for various outputs from its Ecodeco mechanical biological treatment (MBT) plant. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, having completed on 18 March 2019. This open procedure encompasses several lots, including treatment of residual waste, Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF), glass, and mixed waste materials, with contracts ranging in value and duration. The lots identify specific materials and set out requirements for contractors to manage waste effectively, ensuring compliance with environmental standards. The award of this contract includes a systematic approach with community benefits incorporated into the process.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for SMEs specialising in waste management services and environmental sustainability. With various lots available, companies that provide innovative treatment solutions, have the capability to handle diverse waste streams, and can demonstrate adherence to regulatory requirements would be well-suited to compete. Contractors successful in securing these contracts not only contribute to local community and public health objectives but also position themselves strategically within the growing green economy, where environmental responsibility is increasingly prioritised.

### Lot Information

Treatment and disposal of Residual Waste

This Lot is seeking suitably qualified service providers capable of delivering a service for the treatment and disposal of material collected as part of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) household and commercial residual waste collection services by Dumfries and Galloway Council's collection service, as well as potentially from other sources such as Household Waste Recycling Centres. Likely to include a mix of general waste materials, some of which may be recyclable, but which may be adversely affected by organic waste such as food waste or similar cross-contamination. The material in this Lot may be required to be treated by further segregation and/or sorting prior to treatment to ensure diversion of materials such as ferrous, non-ferrous metals and recyclable plastics from landfill or energy production; use in processes to produce energy, refuse derived fuel (RDF), solid recovered fuel (SRF) or other energy releasing material, and; for the remaining fraction after any such treatments, by landfill. This lot is for material that is normally treated in-house at Dumfries and Galloway Council's Mechanical Biological Treatment plant (MBT). We are seeking bids from service providers that are able to provide capacity for short term, unplanned periods, for example due to breakdowns or short notice engineering works. It is anticipated that there is a low likelihood of this happening and when it does it should be for short periods of 1 - 3 days. However, bidders should plan for this capacity to be required for up to two weeks at a time. The tonnage shown for this lot is shown as a daily maximum tonnage due to the short term nature of the requirement. This capacity will be required Monday to Friday.

Renewal: The council will reserve the right to extend the contract for a further period of six months.
