In plain English
Central Bedfordshire Council wants companies to take waste it cannot dispose of through its normal routes, acting as a backup disposal option. The contract, worth about £8.3 million, is split into four lots: general residual and fly-tipped waste, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), hazardous items such as fridges, fluorescent tubes and batteries, and paint. The council is buying treatment and disposal capacity on a contingency basis, not a fixed volume of work.
What the buyer wants
• Provide treatment and disposal capacity for residual and fly-tipped waste, up to 8,000 tonnes a year • Treat POPs waste (about 1,000 to 1,500 tonnes a year) and hazardous items from the council's four household waste recycling centres, including fridges/freezers, fluorescent tubes, batteries and paint (about 280 tonnes a year) • Submit a tender for one or more lots through the In-tend portal, within the word limits, before the closing deadline
Lots
- Residual Contingency and Fly Tip Material
- Persistent organic Pollutants
- Hazardous Waste
- Paint, Paint Stripper and Paint Thinner
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The lots require permitted treatment and disposal capacity of up to 8,000 tonnes a year, so a small business without its own licensed facility would most likely be ruled out.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
