Description

Luton Borough Council is a unitary local authority that provides waste collection and disposal services to some 78,900 households. The Authority provides a range of waste collection services including residual, dry recycling, garden waste collections. Additional waste streams handled by the Authority include bulky wastes, commercial waste, clinical and street cleansing wastes. The Authority is seeking to engage the market and begin open dialogue with suitably experienced and qualified providers for: • the operation, management and maintenance of the Kingsway Facility and the two HWRC Facilities for the reception of waste streams that are currently managed by the Authority, as well as future waste streams that the Authority may collect following the Environment Act reforms; • essential works in relation to the modification of the Kingsway Facility into a transfer loading station and upgrade of the HWRC Facilities in addition to any regulatory works that may be required within the Contract Term; and, • the provision of waste treatment and recycling services for waste streams that are currently managed by the Authority (with the exception of Collected Garden Waste which will be procured separately), as well as future waste streams arising from the streaming of the current comingled dry mixed recycling service, that the Authority may collect following the Environment Act reforms. The Environment Act (2021) may require the Authority to alter and augment its current household waste services, through the introduction of a source separated food waste collection, and separately, through the streaming of the current comingled dry mixed recycling service. It is our intention to discuss during dialogue solutions across the scope of the service requirements to identify efficiencies, service improvement opportunities, waste reduction and increased recycling that could be included in the final Contract Documents To access this competition and selection questionnaire: https://procontract.due-north.com
