Tender description

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council (RCT CBC) wishes to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the Transportation and Disposal of Various Waste Streams from Amgen Cymru, Bryn Pica, Aberdare, Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC, CF44 0BX. The procurement is to be processed in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the ‘Regulations’), in line with the Restricted Procedure Regulation 28 and Dynamic Purchasing Systems Regulation 34. Please note this contract notice is the setting up of a Dynamic Purchasing System and not a public contract. RCT CBC acting on behalf of Amgen Cymru are seeking suitable contractors with a Waste Carrier License and Waste Management License/Permit to purchase/collect waste streams processed through Amgen Cymru's Material Recycling Facility or community recycling centres within the authority. All operations must comply fully with all current and ongoing waste legislation. A DPS is similar to a Framework, but where new suppliers are permitted to join at any time during the validity of the DPS. The DPS shall be run under Project No 31293 of etenderwales — https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk The DPS will be structured into 19 separate lots (waste streams) as detailed in this advert. Contractors can apply for 1 to 19 lots and as part of the 1st stage of the tender process they should indicate which lots they wish to be considered for. DPS is similar to a framework and therefore there are no guarantees of volumes. The waste streams include paper, card, plastic, metals, wood and green waste, plus various other waste streams as indicated. The majority of waste streams will be baled. The Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) will include both income and expenditure related contracts. Collections shall be made on an Ex Works Basis and prices will be either linked to a third party price index, a fixed price, E Auction or a method the Authority deems suitable. Amgen Cymru have limited storage facilities so suppliers must collect waste streams as and when scheduled. The period of validity of the Dynamic Purchasing System is five years from the 1.12.2015 — 30.11.2020. RCT CBC reserves the right to extend the DPS validity for further periods.
