Description

The DPS will be operational from 1st June 2021 and will run for a minimum period of 5 years extendable on a rolling basis without limitation to the number and duration of extension periods activated.

A total of 8 Lots as set out below will be available at commencement of the DPS for purchase of vehicles & associated services, suppliers may apply for admission onto any or all of the Lots. Over the term of the DPS the Council may add new Lots and vary, suspend or remove existing Lots.

• Lot 1 - Electric Refuse Collection Vehicles up to 12 tonnes
• Lot 2 - Electric Refuse Collection Vehicles 12 to 18 tonnes
• Lot 3 - Electric Refuse Collection Vehicles exceeding 18 tonnes

The Council currently has a waste collection fleet comprising 29 diesel vehicles which it will be seeking to replace with electric vehicles over the next 2-3 years via call off from the DPS. Further information is included within Section VI.3.

Once operational further suppliers may apply for admission onto the DPS and existing suppliers may update company, product and commercial information on a dynamic basis without restriction.

Call off contracts may be let from commencement of the DPS and may be sourced via both direct award and mini-competition. No upper or lower constraints will be applied in respect of individual call off contract values or term durations, which may exceed the overarching term duration of the DPS.
