## Summary

West Dunbartonshire Council is leading a procurement initiative titled "Reception, Transfer, Treatment & Disposal of Municipal Solid Waste," which aims to provide waste management services for the Councils of Argyll & Bute, Inverclyde, and West Dunbartonshire. This public contract is currently in the planning stage, having recently undergone an update on 25 April 2019. The overall contract value is estimated at £150 million, ensuring comprehensive waste disposal management across these regions. The procurement follows an open method, allowing for competitive bids, and involves a submission deadline that has been extended to 1 July 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the waste management and processing sectors, particularly those with capabilities in handling municipal solid waste. Companies with experience in waste collection, treatment, and disposal services are encouraged to participate, especially those that can demonstrate compliance with necessary environmental licenses and safety standards. The collaboration among three Councils is designed to create economies of scale, making the contract attractive for businesses that can provide efficient, compliant waste processing solutions as they adapt to new regulations, such as the impending ban on landfill disposal of biodegradable waste starting 1 January 2021.

## Notice

Reception, transfer, treatment & disposal of municipal solid waste services for Argyll & Bute, Inverclyde & West Dunbartonshire Councils.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Argyll & Bute, Inverclyde and West Dunbartonshire Councils' (the Councils), are collaborating in the 'Reception, Transfer, Treatment & Disposal of Municipal Solid Waste' due to the geographical locations of the Councils and aggregated tonnage of waste. This should present economies of scale and be more attractive to a wider range of waste processors to allow either inward investment or a haul and treat solution, whereas the individual tonnages would itself not be as attractive for new investment or attract a processor willing to haul smaller tonnages. This should allow for the much needed investment and treatment of waste in the west of Scotland to increase capacity and capability, in turn the Councils' should be able to secure a sustainable competitive rate whilst achieving security of service provision. West Dunbartonshire Council is acting as the Lead Authority for this procurement. There is a statutory obligation on all Councils to make arrangements to collect and recycle or process and dispose of waste from households and civic amenity sites. The waste stream of municipal solid waste (MSW) is collected by all Councils and presented in a similar fashion to processors. The key contract deliverable of this procurement is to ensure that Argyll & Bute, Inverclyde and West Dunbartonshire Councils' individually and collectively, meet their obligations in respect of the forthcoming ban on the landfill disposal of Biodegradable Municipal Waste (BMW) from 1st January 2021 while maintaining a cost effective & sustainable contract. The purpose of this invitation to tender (ITT) is to identify a single service provider deliver best value for the three Councils taking into service considerations and compatibility with the Councils existing and possible future collection services. The service provision for each council will be for contractors to offer suitable reception facilities where required, haulage, processing and treatment of municipal solid waste for each council in a compliant manner before and after the biodegradable municipal waste landfill ban in 2021. The two waste streams are: Waste Stream 1 - Treatment and Disposal of Residual Waste & Waste Stream 2 - Treatment and Disposal of Bulky Waste

Renewal: Option for a 5year (60month) extension for each individual Council
