Household-refuse disposal services

Tender description

Since 2000, thousands of tonnes of waste were illegally deposited at various sites in Northern Ireland which had origins in the Republic of Ireland. An agreement was reached between the 2 jurisdictions for the repatriation of this waste. Dublin City Council, as the competent authority for the Republic of Ireland, requires a service for the disposal of this waste from up to 5 of these sites to an authorised facility in the Republic of Ireland. This competition will involve the appointment of a number of participants who will each be required to execute a Framework Agreement. The disposal of waste from each site will be subject to individual mini-competitions (Call-Off Contracts). Each successful participant who executes a Framework Agreement will be invited to tender for the individual Call-Off Contracts. The Framework Agreement shall have a term of 3 years but may be extended at the discretion of the Contracting Authority by a period of 1 year. Successful participants who execute a Framework Agreement will be invited to tender for each individual Call-Off Contract. There will be up to 5 Call-Off Contracts issued during the term of the Framework Agreement, with 1 Call-Off Contract for each waste site. The amount of waste that requires disposal from each waste site will be detailed in the invitation sent to each participant. The successful participant will be required to supply Dublin City Council with documentation regarding the waste disposal as detailed in the Invitation to Tender. The haulage of the waste from Northern Ireland to the participant's waste licensed facility does not form part of this Invitation to Tender.
