## Summary

Dumfries and Galloway Council is initiating a procurement process for the treatment and management of various waste streams from Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) and other sources, titled "Various Waste Streams from HWRCs and Other Sources". This project is categorised under the services industry and is located in Dumfries, Scotland. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, and interested parties are invited to express their interest before the contract notice is published, with a future notice date set for 18th July 2022. The total estimated value of the contract is £4.7 million, which indicates a significant opportunity for service providers in the waste management sector.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in waste management, recycling, and environmental services, particularly those with capabilities in processing specific types of waste such as organic, ferrous metals, bulky items, and hazardous materials like asbestos. Companies adept in providing innovative recycling solutions that align with the waste hierarchy could be especially well-positioned to compete. Given the diverse range of lots associated with this procurement, businesses carrying expertise in contingency waste management and those with suitable licensing and infrastructure within Dumfries and Galloway will find competitive advantage in this tendering process.

### Lot Information

Treatment and recycling, recovery, or disposal of Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) plant Fines

Fine organic material smaller than 8mm. It also contains sub 8mm fractions of plastic and glass.. Please note that proposed lotting structure might be a subject to change.

Treatment and recycling, recovery, or disposal of MBT plant Dust

This is the material from the dust extraction system of the MBT. The dust is contained in large bags sometimes referred to as "tonne bags" or "elephant bags".. The proposed lotting structure might be a subject to change.

Treatment and recycling, recovery, or disposal of MBT plant Belt Sweepings

This output from the MBT is the overspill from some of the transport belts in the refinements section of the MBT plant. It is predominantly a very dusty material with some Refuse Derived Fuel and Solid Recovered Fuel within it, and some non-ferrous metal. It is currently collected in a skip.. The proposed lotting structure might be a subject to change.

Provision of a skip, collection, treatment and recycling, recovery, or disposal of MBT plant Ferrous Metals

This is ferrous metal extracted from the mixed waste stream as part of the MBT plant's refinement operation. This material is heavily contaminated with mixed waste. It has been shredded twice by the point of extraction.. The proposed lotting structure might be a subject to change.

Contingency for Residual Waste reception and treatment

Contingency arrangements for the reception and treatment or landfill disposal of primarily residual waste, but possibly other non-hazardous waste streams. Normally for one or two days due to breakdown or plant maintenance at DGC's MBT plant. But on rare occasions planned plant maintenance may last for several weeks. One breakdown recently meant that diversion was required for 5 months - this was due to exceptional circumstances (once in 15 years of operation) and is not likely again.. The proposed lotting structure might be a subject to change.

Contingency for Residual Waste RCV reception from the Nithsdale operational area

A suitably licensed waste facility is required within 5 miles by road of the MBT Plant, Lochar Moss, Lockerbie Road, Dumfries DG1 3PG as a reception and bulking facility if the MBT plant is unable to accept waste.. The proposed lotting structure might be a subject to change.

After DGC has its own facility in the east, the material will only require offtakers for recycling. DGC already has a its own reception and bulking facility in the west (at Stranraer) so the material for this part of the region is immediately available for offtakers to recycle..
