United Kingdom-London: Refuse disposal and treatment – Framework Lead

The current contract for Refuse disposal and treatment – Framework Lead is projected to end on 08-JUL-23 and may be available for retender. Food Waste Treatment and Disposal Contract.
Westminster City Council (‘City Council’) seeks expressions of interest from Contractors for a contract to receive, treat, reprocess and market (the processed outputs of) Food Waste collected by the City Council for a period commencing on 6:00 on 16.9.2016 and ending on 31.3.2020 (with an option to extend for a period or periods up to a further 4 years in aggregate (a total possible services period ending on 31.3.2024).
It is estimated that the City Council will require the appointed Contractor to receive, reprocess and market between 1 500 t and 7 000 t of food waste per annum. Such waste shall include that collected by the City Council predominantly from commercial customers but also from other sources within its administrative area. The appointed contractor must therefore be capable of accepting not less than 7 000 t of the City Council’s Food Waste waste per annum. Currently 1 500 t of food waste is collected per annum. It is expected but not guaranteed that the amount of food waste collected for reprocessing will increase in the contract period in an effort to meet the municipal waste targets established for 2020.
It is not intended that the City Council will guarantee any minimum tonnage but the Contractor will be given exclusivity over the Food Waste waste stream. The appointed contractor shall provide delivery points within a 35 minute drive by LGV in moderate traffic from the central London landmark, Marble Arch, London (the exact border will be shown by a red line plan issued with the Invitation to Submit Final Tender (‘ISFT’) so there is no doubt).
The Contract is being procured to assist the City Council in meeting its obligations under relevant EU directives, applicable legislation and the Mayor of London and the City Council’s ‘Municipal Waste Management Strategy’. Accordingly, it is the aspiration of the City Council to switch from general waste disposal approaches to more recycling over the contract period so as to satisfy the requirements of the strategy. A 35 % municipal waste recycling target has been set for the City Council to achieve by 2020. The current rate is 15 %.
