Description

London River Services forming as part of Transport for London are seeking the provision of a Refuse Collection Service across their eight piers (Greenwich, Tower, Bankside, Blackfriars, Festival, Embankment, Westminster and Millbank Pier). The procurement is for a Refuse Collection Service agreement for an initial term of two (2) years with the option at Transport for London's sole discretion to extend up to a further two (2) years.

Total Quantity or Scope

London River Services (LRS) owns eight piers (Greenwich, Tower, Bankside, Blackfriars, Festival, Embankment, Westminster and Millbank Pier) along the River Thames and is responsible for the maintenance, including refuse collection. Currently, general refuse is collected from all eight piers 3 times per week. All piers have large wheelie bins where rubbish sacks are placed by the pier cleaning contractors. The loose bags are then transferred to a storage barge and transported to a waste recycling facility. In addition to the general collections, ad-hoc collections are required if items are fly tipped onto TfL piers which does occasionally happen. If the boats who fly tip rubbish can be identified, the bill for the removal costs will be sent to them however this is not always possible. Refuse from piers are collected by boat as most piers have very limited roadside access and navigating a waste collection vehicle near to a pier is difficult. Due to the tidal nature of the river Thames the access brows onto piers can be very steep at low tide making it unsafe to try and manoeuvre large wheelie bins on and off piers. This would also have operational impacts as pedestrians would also be using the narrow access brows at the same time as a road-based waste contractor are accessing the pier. The rubbish collection barge is able to come alongside the pier in between scheduled boat services and transfer the loose waste bags without impacting the pier operation or customers activities. The proposed service agreement term is for two (2) years with the option to extend up to two a further (2) years. The procurement documents issued with this Contract Notice via SAP Ariba provide a detailed representation of the requirements under this contract and the process to appoint the successful supplier
