Treatment of Green Waste in Leicestershire

Tender description

Leicestershire County Council (“the Council”) directs green waste under its control to one of a number of composting facilities in the midlands region to ensure such waste is directed away from landfill mitigating the carbon impact of the management of such waste. Some of these composting facilities are now at the end of their contract term. The Council therefore wishes to procure additional capacity to treat such green waste whilst ensuring that forthcoming national changes to local authority waste management activities can be accommodated. The likely commencement date for this contract is 1st April 2022 and will continue until at least 31st March 2024 after which either the Council or the successful bidders would be able to break from the Contract (subject to written notice). Subject to neither the Council or the successful bidders issuing such the break notice the maximum term of the contracts shall not exceed 15 years.
