Description

As a Waste Disposal Authority, Kent County Council has a statutory responsibility to dispose of waste collected by the Waste Collection Authorities, of which one type of waste is Highway Mechanical Arisings ("HMA"), or street sweepings collected by a street sweeper vehicle. KCC requires new supply arrangements for the processing and disposal of HMA, with the new services commencing on 1 May 2021.
The supplier will be required to have in place:
• a waste processing facility with appropriate permitting and planning permissions;
• an electronic weighbridge for the weighing-in of material delivered to their facility to provide the Council with the appropriate management information (including weigh-loader transaction listings);
• policies and procedures that recover materials in accordance with the waste hierarchy to maximise reuse and recycling and to avoid sending any waste to landfill; and
• robust service contingency plans to ensure continuity of services in the event of plant failure, etc.
A full specification of requirements will be provided to tenderers as part of the Invitation to Tender stage of this procurement procedure.
