II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The council has a requirement for the Collection, Reception, Recycling and Treatment of Bulk Waste. Options are still being reviewed on whether this contract will include Waste Upholstered Domestic Seating (WUDS) containing Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPS) or if a separate tender for this waste stream will be undertaken.
Neighbourhoods, Regeneration and Sustainability (NRS) provide a waste management and recycling collection service to households and commercial businesses throughout the city, with the collected material taken to one of Glasgow City Council’s waste transfer stations for reception, bulking and onward transport to the relevant processing outlet for that material stream.
Approximately 50,000 tonnes of Bulk Waste were sent for treatment in 2024, and tonnage will fluctuate year on year as this is a reactive service, the council has no control over the volumes/tonnage.
The council is committed to increasing the level of recycling in the city and this contract will contribute towards this commitment.
