Description

Islington Council invites suitable expressions of interest from suppliers for the Provision and Maintenance of Textile Banks and the Collection of Textiles throughout the borough.

Islington Council has textile containers from a designated supplier placed in areas of high footfall across the borough on both public and estate land. Primarily, this is to reduce the volume of textiles in the waste stream and divert this resource to recycling and reuse. The Council gives the contractor the right to locate, maintain and collect from designated textile banks from agreed locations within Islington. Through a services concession contract between the supplier and the council, the textile containers also generate income for the council based on a revenue share of the price per tonne of collected textiles.

To provide and service textile banks in designated locations throughout the borough.
To grow the number of locations on both public and estate lands and work with the council to promote the textile recycling service.
To ensure that the textile banks provided are all in good operating condition.
To ensure that the textile banks are theft proof as far as is reasonably practicable.
To provide regular and trackable emptying schedules for all banks.
To provide itemised tonnages for all sites each month for reporting purposes.

The services concession contract is a commercial contract where the contracting authority entrusts the provision and the management of services to the economic operator and the consideration consists of either solely the right to exploit the services that are the subject of the contract or of that right together with payment. The operating risk sits with the concessionaire which means that there is no guarantee of breaking even on investments and costs incurred.

The estimated value of this concession contract is based on the total turnover of the concessionaire generated over the duration of the contract, including all possible extensions. This has been estimated in consideration for services which are the object of the concession contract and for the supplies incidental to such services. The value is net of value added tax.
