Description

Kent County Council (KCC) wishes to enter into a contract or contracts for the provision of a waste treatment processing service for Bulky and non-Bulky Waste which is unable to be sent to the Energy from Waste (EfW) Plant and is derived from Household Waste Recycling Facilities, Transfer Stations and from Waste Collection Authorities.

The Facility operating the service must have valid and appropriate planning permission, environmental and other relevant permits including the technical competencies for the type and amount of waste to be handled under this Contract and otherwise all permissions and certification required for the performance of this Contract. The Service Provider must adhere to all current UK and EU legislation, including but not restricted to the Environmental Protection Act 1990, Health & Safety Act 1974 and the Persistent Organic Pollutant's Guidance.

The Requirement includes receipt, handling, processing, treatment and/or disposal of the waste including any residues and does not include haulage from the Authority's sites to the Supplier's facility/ies.

KCC is seeking a solution to reduce its waste disposal costs; disposal should be via the most cost-effective method, without the use of landfill.

The Core Waste typically includes bulky from HWRCs and kerbside collections as well as fly-tipped waste, beach cleansing, street sweepings and marine carcasses. Additional waste is categorised as a contingency for residual waste unable to be disposed via the EfW during planned or unplanned events.

The overall estimated volume for this contract is up to 60,000 tonnes per annum. This is split into: Core Waste - 30,000 tonnes per annum; and Additional Waste - up to 30,000 tonnes per annum.

This contract is split into 'operational lots' based on regional requirements:
Lot 1 - West Kent (Core Waste - 11,500 tonnes per annum, Additional Waste - up to 10,000 tonnes per annum)
Lot 2 - Mid Kent (Core Waste - 10,000 tonnes per annum, Additional Waste - up to 10,000 tonnes per annum)
Lot 3 - East Kent (Core Waste - 8,500 tonnes per annum, Additional Waste - up to 10,000 tonnes per annum)

Tenderers can bid for one or all Lots as well as any combination of Lots.
