II.2.4) Description of the procurement

The services being procured as part of this Procurement are the haulage and treatment, via anaerobic digestion, of domestic and trade Food Waste and its Leachate. The Contract will run for a period of five years commencing 1st September 2025. There will be an option for the Council to extend the Contract by two periods of up to two years each to a maximum contract term of nine [9] years. The Contract will be Lotted into two Lots - North and South - and Suppliers can bid for one or both Lots.

Lot 1 - North - comprises of the following Waste Transfer Stations;

Louth, Gainsborough and Lincoln

At present domestic Food Waste is co-mingled with residual waste and disposed of with residual waste by incineration, however, the Council anticipates that household collections of separated Food Waste will commence from 2025, with a two -phased approach with Gainsborough and Sleaford WTS commencing separate weekly Food Waste collections from autumn 2025 and the remaining 5 WCAs commencing collections throughout winter 2025 with all collecting Food Waste by 31st March 2026.

Food Waste will be collected weekly by the WCAs and be delivered to the Customer’s waste transfer stations to be bulked up and collected by the Supplier for haulage to the Supplier’s Facility for treatment. Food Waste may be presented loose, within a bag or other packaging. The Supplier is expected to collect and handle the Food Waste in this form. Leachate will be stored in tanks which the Supplier will empty and haul to the Supplier’s Facility for treatment. It is estimated that, once all Collection Points are collecting Food Waste, the volume of Food Waste shall be approximately 30,000 – 50,000 tonnes per year, though this is not guaranteed, and actual volumes presented may vary from this figure. The volume of leachate from the Food Waste is currently unknown although the Customer anticipates the tanks will require emptying on a weekly basis and the tanks will be between 2,800 litres and 3,800 litres depending on the size of the WTS.
