Description

Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council (BDBC) and Hart District Council (HDC) (together 'the authority') currently operate a joint contract for their household waste and recycling collection services, which is due to expire in October 2018.

BDBC and HDC have agreed to continue with their joint contract arrangements and, in carrying out this re-tender process, they are seeking to realise further efficiencies. However, it is recognised that they currently have different collection regimes for residual household waste (HDC collecting alternate weekly and BDBC collecting weekly) and therefore, in order to identify potential savings and service efficiencies, the authority is (subject to BDBC Cabinet approval in March 2017) also seeking a separate price for operating a contract under which BDBC and HDC both provide alternate weekly collections for residual waste and dry recycling.

The authority is also seeking Potential suppliers views on introducing a range of other optional services, including a kerbside textile collection using plastic sacks which would be placed out with either the refuse or recycling containers.

The service is managed by HDC on behalf of both BDBC and HDC under an inter-authority agreement and a single Client team, thereby ensuring efficiencies and clarity of accountability for the contractor.
The contract is also supported by one Contact Centre, but this could change in the future so contractors need to be aware that they could be working with two centres with differing IT systems.
