Description

Warwickshire County Council (the Council) is seeking a Supplier who will provide a collection and haulage service for separately collected Food Waste stored in containers from Collection Points in Warwickshire to the Delivery Point. Please note while the estimated value has been stated at £1.8 million this is a anticipated figure to allow for volumes of Food Waste tonnage across all waste collection authorities in Warwickshire. Currently Food Waste is only collected separately by Warwick District and Stratford-on-Avon District. The initial contract term will be for a period of 2 years. However, the Council reserves the right to extend the contract by further periods not exceeding 30 months (2 years and 6 months) in total (30 months being the maximum available extension period) at the discretion of the Council. This means the maximum possible Contract term is 4 years and 6 months in total. This section is intended as a brief overview, please ensure you read the full specification. Warwickshire County Council is the Waste Disposal Authority and manages the Council's statutory obligation to provide treatment and disposal for municipal waste collected throughout Warwickshire by the Waste Collection Authorities and/or by Suppliers acting on behalf of these Councils. The Waste Collection Authorities (WCAs) in Warwickshire are: • North Warwickshire Borough Council; • Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council; • Rugby Borough Council; • Warwick District Council; and • Stratford-on-Avon District Council. The Waste Collection Authorities (WCA's) listed above have a statutory obligation to arrange for the kerbside collection of waste from households in Warwickshire. Warwick District Council and Stratford-on-Avon District Council carry out weekly collections of separately collected Food Waste. Please note that there is currently no separately collected Food Waste service operating in North Warwickshire Borough Council, Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council and Rugby Borough Council. However, it is possible that North Warwickshire Borough Council, Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council and Rugby Borough Council will implement separate Food Waste collections in the near future if this is made a requirement by Government or for other reasons. If separate Food Waste collections are implemented by one or all of these waste collection authorities, the Council may require a collection and haulage service for this material. Details regarding the onboarding of these additional services are outlined in the Invitation to Tender. These additional services will not necessarily run for the full term of the contract (maximum contract term is 4 years 6 months) or at all and will instead run on a co-terminus basis with the services for Warwick District Council and Stratford-on-Avon District Council.
