II.1.4) Short description
Warrington Borough Council is a unitary local authority that provides waste collection and disposal services to some 90,500 households accommodating a population of around 211,000. The Council provides a range of household waste collection services including residual, dry recycling, and garden waste collections. Additional waste streams handled by the Council include bulky wastes and street cleansing wastes.
The Environment Act (2021) may require the Council to alter and augment its current household waste services, through the introduction of a source separated food waste collection, and separately, through the streaming of the current comingled dry mixed recycling service.
The Council are looking to enter into contract(s) for the provision of waste treatment and recycling services for the waste streams that are currently collected by the Council as well as future waste streams that the Council may collect following the Environment Act reforms. These waste services are being procured in three Lots which include:
Lot 1 – Residual Waste Treatment;
Lot 2 – Recyclate Processing; and,
Lot 3 – Food Waste Treatment
The scope of the service required in each Lot includes the provision of a reception point for Council vehicles to make deliveries of waste, treatment recycling and/or disposal of material, all transport of waste and resulting fractions, and the marketing and management of all process outputs (e.g. products and residues) from the treatment process. The scope of each lot also includes managing the service, collecting and reporting service information, reducing carbon emissions associated with managing the Councils waste, and providing social value within the Warrington administrative area.

Lot 1 - Residual Waste Treatment

The residual wastes managed by the Council includes residual wastes collected from households in the administrative area, residual waste from commercial premises, residual waste from household waste recycling centres, street cleansing wastes, gully cleaning wastes, household bulky wastes, and ad-hoc wastes.
Lot 1 (Residual Waste Treatment) seeks to appoint a service provider who can receive residual wastes and treat and/or dispose of the residual waste. A small portion of the residual waste will be collected by the Contractor from a Council depot.
The service provider appointed to Lot 1 will also be required to provide a solution for residual waste following the introduction of a household food waste recycling service. The introduction of this service is expected to reduce the food waste content of the residual waste stream. A change mechanism for this aspect of the service is included within the Lot 1 contract.

Lot 3 – Food Waste Treatment.
As a result of the Environment Act 2021 coming into force, Warrington Borough Council may need to introduce a source separated weekly food waste collection to households within the administrative area.
Initial work undertaken by the Council estimates that a new food waste recycling service will collect between 6,000 and 9,000 tonnes per annum, with the range dependent on a number of technical factors.
Lot 3 (Food Waste Treatment) seeks to appoint a service provider who can receive, treat and recycle food waste that the Council may collect following the implementation of the Environment Act 2021 requirement.
It should be noted that whilst the Council is looking to put a contract into place, the provision of the services shall not commence until such time that a household food waste recycling service is introduced by the Council.
