II.2.4) Description of the procurement

UK Shared Business Services (UK SBS) on behalf of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), wish to appoint a provider for Commercial Waste Collection and Recycling Services for the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC).

The Contracting Authority wishes to appoint a Contractor capable of delivering a fully integrated and seamless commercial waste management and recycling service.

As part of UKRI, STFC falls under the statutory reporting requirements of the Greening Government Commitments (GGC). GGC targets for 2021/22 - 2024/25 have yet to be set but for the purpose of this contract the Contractor must be able to meet all GGC targets.

STFC seeks to reuse or recycle as many of its non-hazardous waste streams as possible and currently this includes paper, cardboard, newspapers and magazines, plastic bottles, plastic cups, glass and food waste. In line with the progressive and forward-looking intent of this contract, the Contractor should commit to maintaining 100% diversion from landfill and over the contract duration.

Material Waste Streams

The Client places high emphasis in obtaining accurate information on the waste streams it produces, and how it can improve the way waste is managed, and therefore requires proposals that offer:

• On board weighing solutions to measure waste by identifying actual lifts of individual containers weighed at the time of collection so that be trusted and used to benchmark the past and predict future trends in site waste generation.

• Providing solutions for tracking and reporting on waste volumes per bin and per stream to enable measurement at a more granular level e.g. building level

• Providing feedback on contamination at a sufficiently granular level to allow STFC to target training and education.

• Provision for new waste streams and responding to increase of current waste streams in response to campus growth.

The approximate quantity of waste produced by STFC in the last year is summarised in the specification. It is expected that volumes of waste, containers and frequencies will change in the course of the contract as recycling increases and the service is made more efficient and with accurate reporting.

Bin Provision and Containerisation

Appendix 3 details the number, sizes and maximum collection frequency of the bins that are currently on site. This is provided for information, not as a specification of the containers that must be provided by the Contractor. The Contractor shall make its own assessment of the number and range of bins that the Contractor considers necessary to meet STFC's requirements in readiness for day 1 of the contract in the most cost-effective and sustainable way, taking account of the tonnages stated in the specification.

It is not expected that this will have an impact on the bid price submitted.

The Contractor shall have overriding responsibility for bin and container provision including responsibility for their maintenance and renewal. The Contractor shall monitor the condition of bins and containers on site and provide a report for the Client's review for recommended repairs or replacement.

To assist with ad hoc service requirements, the Contractor shall provide skip rental charge and a container emptying charge for the following open waste skips capacities: 2,4,6,8,12,20 and 40 cu yard. Options for enclosed, lockable open skips are also required. It is assumed that the same per kilogramme fee/rebate will apply regardless of container size.

A brief summary of the requirement has been provided above, please ensure you review the specification and supporting appendices for full details of this requirement. All documents relating to this procurement can be found within the Stage One: Overview Section on the Delta eSourcing Portal.
