Refuse collection services

Tender description

This procurement relates to the provision of Waste Management Service (non-clinical). This requirement is to be split in to 3 lots: Lot 1 = General Waste and Dry Mixed Recycling, Lot 2 = Confidential Waste, Lot 3 = Bulky wastes and skips. The provision of services to collect and treat the general waste and recycling as defined in 1 and 2 produced by the sites listed in Appendix 1 of the tender pack (available via the portal). 1 General waste includes packaging materials, non-recyclable plastics, food waste, and other wastes typical of mixed municipal wastes. 2 Dry Mixed Recycling (DMR) includes paper and card, recyclable plastics, metal wastes, packaging materials and other wastes typical of domestic recycling. The majority of confidential waste will be paper-based. However it is anticipated that on occasion there will be need for the destruction of other wastes such as VHS cassettes, compact discs, uniform, etc. Suppliers should ensure that such they state clearly their full capabilities with regard to the destruction of other confidential materials. The collection and destruction of IT wastes (including hard drives, mobile devices and storage devices) is specifically excluded from this contract. The collection of confidential waste will typically be carried out from internal areas of Trust properties, and waste will be stored in: — cabinets, — wheeled units (e.g. 120-360L), — individual sacks. All destruction processes must take place on site. The Trust will not accept any regularly scheduled collections being dependant on off-site destruction, except in exceptional circumstances. Where such circumstances arise, off-site destruction must be discussed with the Trust and approved in advance of collections taking place. The Trust on occasion will require provision of skips for the collection of some wastes such as wood and green waste, building materials or large volumes of cardboard or plastics. Such waste is currently disposed of into skips and ROROs (8-35yd3). These would not be collected as part of regularly scheduled service in most cases as the production of waste is unpredictable. The Supplier must be able to provide and service skips and similar containers regularly to any site indicated in Appendix 1 (of tender pack).
