II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Stirling Council has in place six SEPA Waste Management Licenses and two discharge consents, in addition to a category three bay animal health approval to cover the sites and facilities where the Council undertakes its statutory duties as a waste collection and disposal authority.
SEPA requires within each of the licenses, that an appointed license holder be present across the licensed sites 20 % of their operating time. There is a requirement to attend at our Polmaise Depot (and related sites) one day per week and to potentially also operate on an on-call advice basis out with these weekly visits.
SEPA requires that the appointed license holder hold a certificate of technical competency (CoTC), demonstrated by the completion of a level 3 and 4 vocational WAMITAB qualification. At present, waste services does not currently have a qualified license holder, with a number of members of the team recently commencing levels 3 and 4 WAMITAB qualification completion.
The use of external license holder services will be required immediately and will continue until such a time as members of the waste services team complete WAMITAB qualifications.
The consultant license holder must provide flexible and responsive support, including out of hours standby. There will be occasions when the license holder will be required for more than 1 day per week to meet with service and regulatory needs.

Experienced professional consultancy services will be required to undertake waste compositional analysis on kerbside and Household Waste Recycling Centre waste skip streams to inform tender specifications, treatment options, final destinations and to meet with impending changes in legislation/regulation.
The appointed contractor will work with waste services to ensure a robust sample selection process is undertaken to meet with best practice guidance to ensure the sample is representative. Waste services will uplift the required number of bins from householders and will deliver the sample to the Lower Polmaise Depot.
It is understood that for kerbside materials (residual waste) a robust waste compositional analysis process would need to take place for kerbside materials over three agreed consecutive cycles, in order to be representative. The appointed contractor will provide staffing, receptacles and equipment to undertake the sorting process and will provide accurate and detailed reports to the Council of the findings in an agreed format.
