Refuse transport services

Tender description

KCC requires waste transfer services that encompasses the provision of reception, handling and haulage of waste collected by Waste Collection Authorities (WCAs) within the East Kent Waste Partnership, including: Canterbury City Council; Thanet District Council; and Dover District Council. Waste Transfer Sites must be conveniently located to receive the waste collected by one or more of the above named WCAs in order to reduce the negative impact to the environment and public health caused by haulage of waste over unnecessarily long distances. Waste transfer services will include the following services: — the reception of waste (i.e. allowing the off-loading of waste by Refuse Collection Vehicles and other waste collection vehicles), and — the haulage of waste to waste processing/disposal sites. As the overall nature of the required services to be delivered across the different lots is the same, the contracts for these services will include the flexibility to supply contingency waste transfer services for waste collected across the East Kent Waste Partnership (e.g. in the event of service failure by any of KCC’s suppliers in delivering waste transfer services). Bidders will also be given the opportunity to offer to deliver waste disposal services on behalf of KCC relating to specific waste materials received through delivering the required waste transfer services. This will be an optional service and KCC reserves the right not to accept offers relating to optional waste disposal services. For more details see the 'Call for Competition' documentation (see Section I.3) for this Notice for 'Communication').
