CPV Codes
- 90000000 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services

Legal Justification
In accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) competition is absent for technical reasons where no reasonable alternative exists. A search on the Environment Agency's website has shown that there are no alternative licensed sites within a reasonable distance of Haverhill. Furthermore, due to the low tonnage involved, it would not be efficient to build and operate a new transfer station in isolation in this area and nor could a different operator provide a cost- effective service.
