Location

United Kingdom: UUW’s sludge is produced in the North West of England, however, UUW is open to the UK market. Transport to be provided by UUW with costs considered alongside any proposed solution.

Description

• UUW is looking for short term options for the treatment, recycling and disposal of raw sewage sludges. Short term in this context is between 2024 and 2030 • UUW’s objectives are: o To ensure all the potential short term outlets for raw sewage sludge have been identified; to include treatment and / or recycling and / or disposal. o To understand how UUW could access this short-term capacity, specifically for any sludge arising that cannot be processed through UUW facilities.

Total Quantity or Scope

• UUW is looking for short term options for the treatment, recycling and disposal of raw sewage sludges. Short term in this context is between 2024 and 2030. … • This PIN and associated market engagement for short-term capacity will run in parallel to the PIN (2020/S 148-364208) and market engagement for long-term guaranteed sludge treatment capacity which was started in 2020. • UUW expects that a number of parties who could offer short-term capacity will already have been identified from the previous PIN and market engagement for long-term capacity, however this PIN for short-term capacity is to ensure that any providers with only short-term options have an opportunity to engage with us. • The PIN and market engagement for short term capacity is only for outlets that do not require commitment from UUW beyond FY28. If a provider’s ability to offer short-term capacity is dependent on having contracted minimum volumes from UUW beyond FY28, the provider would need to respond to the long-term capacity requirement and procurement. • UUW are NOT asking for transportation of sludge. Treatment providers will receive sludge via transportation by UUW. • UUW is not placing any restrictions on min or max capacity at this stage. Interested parties are requested to state what they can provide, and any conditions they might want to place on provision of available volumes. • Capacity can be either existing, or brought into service before FY30. Please note, UUW will not provide any sludge supply guarantees beyond FY28 if they are relying on this to make an investment. Additional information: This PIN is a request for information only at this stage. The PIN deadline is 31st March 2023.
