Description

Conwy County Borough Council (the ‘Authority’) wishes to appoint a suitable Supplier(s) (the ‘Supplier(s)’) to provide a delivery point and composting service for Green Waste supplied by Conwy County Borough Council. The term of the contract period will be for 2 years with an option for the Authority to extend for a further 1 year. Conwy County Borough Council wishes to arrange a contract for the treatment of the collected green waste material to BSI PAS100:2011 specification and the Quality Compost Protocol (2012). The Authority proposes to enter into Contract for a period of 2 years with the option to extend for a further 1 year with the successful Contractor(s) (Service Provider). As only PAS100 certified material is authorised for reporting towards Local Authority Statutory Recycling Targets as outlined in The Waste (Wales) Measure 2010, the requirement for PAS100 certification will be evaluated as Pass/Fail. The overall composting requirement is anticipated to be around 8,000 tonnes per annum (but no guaranteed minimum tonnage will apply). The anticipated contract commencement date is 01/07/2023. Conwy County Borough Council (CCBC) is located in North Wales, is 1,130 square kilometres in size and has a population of approximately 116,000 people. CCBC is a unitary authority responsible for making collections of household waste arisings and ensuring the safe and proper disposal of all wastes collected. Green Waste Kerbside Collection from households is around 7,500 tonnes per annum. In April 2020, the Council introduced an annual subscription charge for the collection of garden waste from households in the county. Collections are made through a third party contractor who operate a fortnightly garden waste collection service throughout the Conwy County Borough area. Garden waste is collected from households in 240L brown wheeled bins. The service runs throughout the year but there is a significant seasonal decrease in the amount of material collected during November to February. Parks and Garden Waste (~ 500 tonnes per annum) The Authority’s in-house workforce is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the Authority’s various parks and gardens. The green waste generated includes grass cuttings from highway verges etc. The Contractor will be required to deal with the Green Waste in accordance with all relevant legislation and guidelines and any instructions issued by the Authority and / or Natural Resources Wales. No haulage services are required as part of this Contract as the Council will deliver the garden waste directly to the delivery point and / or facility via a third party contractor. Delivery of the material will be through direct delivery using standard refuse collection vehicles, or via skips, walking floor trailers or other authorised vehicles.
