In plain English

Ashford Borough Council wants a contractor to collect Category 2 and Category 3 waste from Ashford Port Health, the Sevington site and other addresses in the borough, transport it and destroy it. The estimated value is £100,000.

What the buyer wants

• Collect waste from Ashford Port Health, Sevington BCP and other addresses in the borough • Provide vehicles of a suitable size and type for each load, and transport and destroy the waste • Liaise with Port Health staff and provide signed Waste Transfer Notes, Certificates of Destruction and Weighbridge Certificates for every load

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The contractor must supply suitable vehicles for each load and provide signed Waste Transfer Notes, Certificates of Destruction and Weighbridge Certificates for every load, so a small business without its own appropriate vehicles or the ability to produce this paperwork for each collection would likely be ruled out.

Always check the tender documents.
