Warwickshire County Council (the Council) is seeking a Supplier who will provide a collection and haulage service for separately collected Food Waste stored in containers from Collection Points in Warwickshire to the Delivery Point. This section is intended as a brief overview, please ensure you read the full specification.
Warwickshire County Council is the Waste Disposal Authority and manages the Council's statutory obligation to provide treatment and disposal for municipal waste collected throughout Warwickshire by the Waste Collection Authorities and/or by Suppliers acting on behalf of these Councils.
The Waste Collection Authorities (WCAs) in Warwickshire are:
• North Warwickshire Borough Council;
• Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council;
• Rugby Borough Council;
• Warwick District Council; and
• Stratford-on-Avon District Council.
The Waste Collection Authorities (WCA's) listed above have a statutory obligation to arrange for the kerbside collection of waste from households in Warwickshire.
Warwick District Council and Stratford-on-Avon District Council carry out weekly collections of separately collected Food Waste.
Please note that there is currently no separately collected Food Waste service operating in North Warwickshire Borough Council, Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council and Rugby Borough Council. However, it is possible that North Warwickshire Borough Council, Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council and Rugby Borough Council will implement separate Food Waste collections in the near future if this is made a requirement by Government or for other reasons. If separate Food Waste collections are implemented by one or all of these waste collection authorities, the Council may require a collection and haulage service for this material. Details regarding the onboarding of these additional services are outlined in the Invitation to Tender. These additional services will not necessarily run for the full term of the contract or at all (the maximum contract term is 4 years 6 months) and will instead run on a co-terminus basis with the services for Warwick District Council and Stratford-on-Avon District Council.

Complete Tender Coverage

Following Brexit, the new official Find a Tender system has been developed by UK Government to detail all public procurement contract opportunities expected to be over £122, 976 for Central Government or £189,330 for the remainder of the public sector e.g. NHS contracts, Local Authority contracts, Housing Association contracts. Publishing requirements for all of the public sector are in place to ensure transparency, fairness and open competition.

All UK public sector opportunities under these values, but over £10,000 for central government or over £25,000 for other public sector organisations, are still required to be published on Contracts Finder. Scotland, Wales and NI also have their own dedicated sites: Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales, eSourcing NI and eTendersNI.

Complete Tenders have centralised and consolidated all of this information into a single, easy to use platform that is updated hourly with all new opportunities.
