Abstract

The Authority has recently secured additional floor space within the Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) following the relocation of the confidential paper shredding operation to another area of the depot. This additional space presents an opportunity to redesign and optimise the existing MRF layout to improve operational performance and future-proof the facility.

The Authority is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced Tenderer to undertake the design, supply, installation, commissioning, and testing of a redesigned materials recycling line incorporating both the existing and newly available floor areas.

The redesigned solution shall aim to:

• Improve operational efficiency and throughput.

• Enhance health, safety, and welfare standards.

• Increase automation and reduce manual handling where practicable.

• Reduce contamination levels within material streams.

• Improve the quality and value of recovered materials.

• Provide flexibility to accommodate future changes in recycling materials and processing requirements.

The scope of works shall include, but not be limited to:

• Assessment of the existing MRF operation and site constraints.

• Design of a new MRF layout and processing line.

• Removal and disposal, or relocation where applicable, of existing MRF equipment.

• Supply of all new equipment required for the proposed solution.

• Integration of both existing and new equipment into the redesigned processing line.

• Installation, commissioning, performance testing, and handover of the complete system.

• Provision of operator training and relevant documentation.

• Provision of warranties for all new equipment supplied under the Contract.

• Provision of ongoing maintenance and support services, including details of response times and planned preventative maintenance arrangements.

The Tenderer shall demonstrate that the proposed solution represents best value for money and is capable of delivering a safe, efficient, reliable, and future-ready recycling operation throughout the contract term.

Mae'r Awdurdod wedi sicrhau gofod llawr ychwanegol yn ddiweddar o fewn y Cyfleuster Adfer Deunyddiau (MRF) yn sgil adleoli'r broses malu papur cyfrinachol i ran arall o'r depo. Mae'r gofod ychwanegol hwn yn darparu cyfle i ailgynllunio ac optimeiddio cynllun presennol y MRF er mwyn gwella perfformiad gweithredol a sicrhau bod y cyfleuster yn gallu ymateb i ofynion y dyfodol.

Mae'r Awdurdod yn ceisio Tendrwr cymwys a phrofiadol i ymgymryd â dylunio, cyflenwi, gosod, comisiynu a phrofi llinell brosesu ailgylchu wedi'i hailgynllunio, gan ymgorffori'r gofod llawr presennol a'r gofod ychwanegol newydd.

Dylai'r ateb arfaethedig anelu at:

• Wella effeithlonrwydd gweithredol a chynyddu'r capasiti prosesu.

• Gwella safonau iechyd, diogelwch a llesiant.

• Cynyddu awtomeiddio a lleihau trin deunyddiau â llaw lle bo'n ymarferol.

• Lleihau lefelau halogiad o fewn ffrydiau deunyddiau.

• Gwella ansawdd a gwerth y deunyddiau a adferir.

• Darparu hyblygrwydd i allu ymateb i newidiadau yn y dyfodol mewn deunyddiau ailgylchu neu ofynion prosesu.

Bydd cwmpas y gwaith yn cynnwys, ond ni fydd yn gyfyngedig i:

• Asesu gweithrediadau presennol y MRF a chyfyngiadau'r safle.

• Dylunio cynllun newydd a llinell brosesu newydd ar gyfer y MRF.

• Datgomisiynu, symud neu waredu offer presennol y MRF fel sy'n briodol.

• Cyflenwi'r holl offer newydd sydd eu hangen ar gyfer yr ateb arfaethedig.

• Integreiddio offer presennol ac offer newydd i mewn i'r llinell brosesu wedi'i hailgynllunio.
