Waste Management Services

Kirklees Council has issued this Prior Information Notice (PIN) to raise awareness of a future contract opportunity for Waste Management and to give interested parties the option to participate in a soft market exercise prior to the commencement of a procurement process under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The required Waste Management services are to operate and maintain the Councils existing facilities that are due to be handed back when the existing PFI contract expires. The facilities have a good track record of performance and have been well maintained by the incumbent contractor. Kirklees Council requires a solution for residual waste treatment and recycling of waste collected from kerbside domestic rounds, including bulky items, a trade waste service and street litter, all services are operated in-house by Kirklees Council. The new contracted Waste Management solution(s) must be flexible to adapt to currently uncertain future changes in legislation that will have an impact on tonnages, waste composition, calorific value and types of material to be recycled. The Council is also proposing to use the waste heat from the Energy from Waste facility and a proportion of the electricity generated to supply the Huddersfield District Energy Network.
