Refuse and waste related services

Tender description

The authority is inviting tenders in respect of a term contract for the provision of disposal and/or treatment capacity for residual waste. Midlothian Council is seeking tenders for the treatment, recovery or disposal of around 8 000 T of approved waste in each year of the contract. No quantities can be fixed or guaranteed since the future quantity is driven by a variable demand. Options as to the proposed method of waste treatment, recovery or disposal are left with the contractor. Such measures may include, but are not limited to: processing of waste through a residual materials recovery facility (residual/dirty MRF); mechanical biological treatment (MBT); production of refuse derived fuel (RDF); aggregate washing of street sweeping material or any other secondary treatment to remove recyclable materials.
