ENHT - Waste Management

Tender description

The East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust ("ENHT", "the Authority") is seeking to procure Waste Management Services across its multiple sites. The initial 3 year contract(s) will have a commencement date of 1 November 2022. At the first (SQ) stage of the procurement, Bidders are invited to submit a single completed questionnaire for any combination of the following Waste Management lots: • Lot 1 - Clinical Healthcare Waste; • Lot 2 - Reusable Sharps; • Lot 3 - Domestic Waste and Recyclables; • Lot 4 - Confidential Waste Destruction and Disposal; • Lot 5 - Food Waste; • Lot 6 - WEEE, Florescent Tubes and GDL; • Lot 7 - Hazardous Chemical Waste; • Lot 8 - Total Waste Management (TWM) service to cover all waste streams. The top six highest ranking bidders in each lot that pass the SQ minimum pass threshold (50%) will be issued with an ITT. The Authority intends to either: • Award contracts to each of the Tenders that are the most economically advantageous in each of the individual lots (Lots 1-7); or • Award a single contract to the Tender that is the most economically advantageous in the TWM lot (Lot 8). Any contract(s) awarded as a result of this procurement shall be based on NHS Terms and Conditions for the Provision of Goods and Services, and shall take the form of a partnership agreement between the Authority and the nominated contractor(s), with key objectives to include the movement of waste "up" the waste hierarchy, and to actively review service provision to ensure that the most economical solution is offered. A key principle in the Hertfordshire and West Essex ICS is that of collaborative working. In the spirit of operating as an ICS, procurement projects should be undertaken on the basis that the outcome will be applicable to all parties (whether immediately or subsequently). Therefore, the terms of any contract resulting from this procurement shall permit partner organisations to join the agreement at the agreed ENHT contract rates and under the existing terms and conditions. ENHT's ICS partners are Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust (HCT), Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT), The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust (PAH) and West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (WHHT). The lower value in this notice is an estimate based on ENHT contracts only. The higher estimate applies should all ICS partners join the agreement. Spend and volumes may vary throughout the life of the contract(s).
