Provision of Management Services: Energy from Waste (EfW) Plant
Description: The purpose of this Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) is to seek input from potential Suppliers within the market, for the provision of management services for the Council's Energy from Waste (EfW) Plant, to establish the type of solution and functionality that is available and to support the Council in discharge of its statutory duty for the Treatment and Disposal of Waste under Section 51 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (EPA). The Plant is a purpose-built energy from waste facility that provides treatment for up to 118,000 tonnes of municipal waste (including third-party waste) per annum. The primarily function of the plant is to ensure the environmentally compliant incineration of all waste collected by the City of Wolverhampton Council from kerbside collections and house waste and recycling centres (read more...)
Summary: Wolverhampton City Council intends to procure management services for its purpose-built Energy from Waste plant. The service will support the environmentally compliant incineration and disposal of municipal waste collected through kerbside services and household waste and recycling centres, while also processing waste from commercial customers. The facility can treat up to 118,000 tonnes of municipal and third-party waste each year and generates electricity equivalent to the power used by around 16,000 homes. The requirement is categorised as refuse and waste-related services (CPV 90500000). Delivery will take place in the Wolverhampton area. Suppliers should therefore be active in managing energy-from-waste facilities, municipal waste treatment and disposal, and the operational interface between waste processing and electricity generation.
