Description

Essex County Council (ECC) will be seeking to procure Services for the Management of Persistent Organic Pollutants Waste or POPs Waste.

The successful contractor will be required to make arrangements for the safe disposal of upholstered domestic seating waste that may contain Persistent Organic Pollutants; and other POPs containing wastes from that may arise from time to time as a result of changes to the Environment Agency guidance or laws, collected from across the Authority's network of recycling centres and other collection points including Waste Collection Authority depots as required. The contractor will be required to provide safe disposal services for POPs delivered by the Authority or its agents and may, where requested, be required to provide collection containers and transport services to the disposal point(s).

The contract is expected to be for a one (1) year period, and may be extended by agreement in any number of periods not exceeding a total of a further five (5) years.

The annual tonnage of POPs waste is forecast to be in the region of 6,500 tonnes. No exclusivity or guaranteed minimum tonnage will be offered in respect of this contract, however a fixed capped management fee will be payable regardless of tonnage in addition to the applicable collection and disposal costs incurred.
