Refuse and waste related services

Tender description

The Council are seeking a suitably qualified operator for the Provision of a Waste Disposal Service to Bury Market. The contract is for the period 1.5.2018 to 30.4.2021 with an option to extend the contract for two further twelve month periods until 30.4.2023. The waste from the Market Hall, Fish and Meat Hall, and Open Market stalls is placed into wheeled 1100 lt bins located around the Market. The bins are then moved by Market Operatives to a Compactor and 40 yrd metal container located on the Open Market. Cardboard is separated by the Market Traders into wheeled cages located around the Market. When full the cages are moved by Market Operatives to the baling room where they are baled with the resulting bales moved into a 40 yrd metal container for storage. Both the compactor and the baled cardboard store are emptied once per week on a Tuesday. It is expected that the new agreement will replicate the current arrangements; however alternative arrangements will be considered providing they are a suitable option that will meet the needs of the market service and can be accommodated in the area designated for the collection of waste.
