Refuse and waste related services

Tender description

Please note this is a prior information notice and tender documentation is not available yet. In this present instance ESPO is renewing its specialist waste services framework which will be a multi-supplier, multi-lot framework for the provision of specialist waste services including the collection and disposal of hazardous waste, pharmaceutical waste, bulk specialist wastes and waste from house/office clearances. ESPO will be conducting stakeholder engagement to help shape the new framework and improve upon the scope, including a review of hazardous waste related services. If you would like to provide feedback on the current framework or be involved in the stakeholder engagement process please contact Michael Vaughan (Senior Procurement Officer) on 0116 265 7853 or at m.vaughan@espo.org, no later than 12 p.m., 11.11.2019. To express an interest in tendering: (a) go to www.eastmidstenders.org; (b) register; (c) search for tender opportunity ‘378_20’; (d) express an interest. Lot structure will be determined following stakeholder engagement. The following information will be applicable to all lots: ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Ltd, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful supplier may be asked to enter into an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Ltd on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself. Any second framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Ltd may enter into the second framework agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for bidders' information only.
