Description

The North London Waste Authority (the Authority) and its seven constituent boroughs, namely the London Boroughs of Barnet, Camden, Waltham Forest, Enfield, Islington, Hackney and Haringey, need to start the development of a robust joint strategy.

The Authority is seeking a consultant to provide services including: stakeholder engagement and public consultation exercises, assessment of current baselines of Local Authority Collected Waste (LACW); forecasting of how waste tonnage/compositions will change over the NLJWS period; modelling the impacts of waste prevention and reuse interventions; modelling the performance of waste/recycling collection services and a number of impact assessments (including a Strategic Environment Assessment and an Equalities Impact Assessment).

The Authority and the boroughs have decided to divide the procurement and delivery of the work into three stages:

• Part 1 - Public and Stakeholder Engagement
• Part 2- Data collection, forecasting, modelling
• Part 3 - Additional Public and Stakeholder Engagement and Impact Assessments

The objective of the procurement is to engage consultant resources to:

• Undertake stakeholder engagement and public consultations on key proposals for the NLJWS, so that it is informed by the views of residents and interested stakeholders

• Carry out analysis of the current situation (a baseline assessment of LACW across the seven boroughs)

• Determine likely future waste compositions and tonnages in North London

• Identify and model waste reduction, recycling and reuse interventions that could be implemented by NLWA and the borough councils.

• Model the design of future waste services (e.g. collections) provided by NLWA and the boroughs

• Undertake Impact Assessments (including a Strategic Environment Assessment and Equalities Impact Assessment)
