WCC - DPS for the provision of Waste Material Services

The Council has a wide range of waste materials to manage across Warwickshire, as a result of increasing waste segregation, these materials vary in terms of tonnage and value. This segregation has resulted in the creation of several niche or low-volume materials, including automotive batteries, oil, chemicals, paint, gas cylinders, fire extinguishers, printer cartridges, plasterboard, various plastics, glass, non-ferrous metals, textiles, and waste upholstered domestic seating. The Council needs to have contracts in place for these waste materials brought to the HWRCs/Waste Transfer Stations by the public, commercial traders, the waste collection authorities, or suppliers acting on their behalf and charities.

The Council is proposing to manage these types of waste materials through this DPS. Managing these waste materials is key to supporting the safe and compliant handling of waste in Warwickshire.

This tender is divided into three lots as follows:

Lot 1 - Hazardous Waste and/or Waste that could contain items with a high level of persistent organic pollutants 'POPs'. Various hazardous waste streams including but not limited to automotive batteries, oil, chemicals, paint, gas cylinders, fire extinguishers, printer cartridges, plasterboard as well as waste streams that could contain items with high levels of persistent organic pollutants 'POPs' such as waste upholstered domestic seating.

Lot 2 - Reusable and Recyclable Waste. Various reusable and recyclable waste streams including but not limited to soft plastic, glass, nonferrous metal, and textiles etc.

Lot 3 - Bulky Waste items to be diverted from landfill. Various reusable and recyclable waste streams including but not limited to mattresses, carpet, hard/rigid plastics.

The estimated value is expected to be circa £3,000,000 over the life of the DPS however, should unexpected circumstances / demand arise, this value could increase to circa £5,000,000. These figures are estimates provided in good faith and without commitment.
