Description
The council owns an operational purpose built Energy from Waste (EfW) plant located at Crown Street, Wolverhampton.
The Council is seeking a Contractor with a demonstrable track record with relevant experience of operating and managing Energy from Waste plants to support the ongoing management of the council service.
The Council requires the Contractor to provide competent technical oversight and comprehensive Management services for the delivery of the daily operational supervision of the council's Energy from Waste plant, which will include day to day responsibility for managing the council's workforce at the plant.
The Contractor will need to be able to transfer the Environmental Permit for the site and comply with the EA requirements, as well as provide the appropriate technical and competent management of the facility on a day to day basis.
The estimated Annual value will be £7 Million with a total contract value (if extensions are made) will be £28 Million. Please note that this estimated figure is higher than the Council wishes to pay, but is needed to take into consideration any future increases due to inflation.
The Supplier may agree with the Council during the term of the Contract to directly employ the dedicated labour force currently employed by the Council at the plant('Labour Transfer Agreement'). Negotiation of such a Labour Transfer Agreement is not an obligation upon either party. If such a Labour Transfer Agreement is made it will be made as a variation to this Contract.
Please Note: If this option was taken during the contract period then the estimated highest value of the contract would be £8.9 million per annum, which is the figure that has been used for the estimated contract value advertised.
This will be for an initial 2 (Two Year) period, with the option to extend for a further 2 (Two) x 1 (one) year periods.
A bidders day has been included within the tendering process, to allow Interested organisations to view the Energy from Waste site. This will be held on Thursday 23rd March and any organisation wishing to attend should register their interest via the Due North messaging portal, by 12:00 Noon on 21st March 2023.
