Cardboard & Mixed Papers Collection, Transportation & Recycling Services (2 lots)

Description

Lancashire County Council is seeking tenders for the provision of provision of waste cardboard and waste mixed papers collection, transportation and recycling services.
The services will comprise the collection, transportation, weighing and recycling of waste cardboard and waste mixed papers arising from the Lancashire County Council waste facilities and delivered to a provider facility by the provider. Providers are required to collect both waste cardboard and waste mixed papers. The two products will be held separately as two distinct waste streams. However, providers shall be aware that the waste cardboard and waste mixed papers have been deposited into skips by members of the public at Household Waste Recycling Centres before being transported to the Lancashire County Council waste facilities, and so quality may vary. In particular, the waste cardboard may contain a quantity of mixed paper, books, and packaging.
The services are being procured on the basis of two (2) Lots: Lot 1 - Preston Transfer Station and Farington Waste Recovery Park; and Lot 2 - Middleton Transfer Station. Please see the invitation to tender documents for more information.

The tender documents are available on Lancashire County Council's electronic tendering site: www.lancashire.gov.uk/fusion-supplier-portal/
Use of this system does not require high specification IT equipment or connections, nor high level personal IT skills/capabilities. Access to the system/software and advice is free of charge.

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.
