Description

The University intends to enter into a contractual relationship with a service provider that can provide an innovative solution, supporting the University in meeting its current and future objectives in relation to sustainable waste management, recycling and circularity. The University of Leeds intends to appoint a Waste Contractor to mange waste streams at the University.

Total Quantity or Scope

The University of Leeds is a large, multi-site campus. The University shares buildings, assets and facilities with partners including, but not limited to, NHS facilities. The University has approximately 23 waste streams or agreements currently with an overall estimated annual cost in the region of £570k (2018/19 figures). These vary in risk and volume. Following the approval of the University of Leeds Climate Plan in November 2021, seven principles were brought to life through a University-wide collaboration between the sustainability Service, professional Services, students and academic colleagues. It maps out how the University will deliver key climate commitments, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, supporting a net zero city, delivering sustainable travel, enabling responsible investment, shaping institutional decision-making, and refocusing research and education. The plan also carefully considers how to achieve resilience to the impacts of climate change across University operations and supports a just transition – ensuring that all groups and members of the University community are considered and accounted for on the journey to a low carbon future. ​ In line with the Climate Plan the University is looking to minimise, rationalise and simplify the Wastes produced into Waste types which can be easily reprocessed into closed (remanufacture) or open loop (reprocessing) solutions keeping materials used to a minimum. Using innovative solutions to enhance the climate reputation of the University whilst providing a trailblazing enhanced campus experience for all users. The University requires an overarching Contractor to manage the collection, transport, treatment (or disposal) and reporting of its Wastes directly or via Sub-Contractors, in a legally compliant manner; to deliver environmental and economic savings year-on-year and provide clear, consistent, timely reporting (financial, performance and environmental).
