## Description
The Cambridgeshire Waste Collection Authorities collect dry mixed recycling from domestic
and commercial premises across Cambridgeshire. This tender is to provide suitably located
and permitted transfer stations for accepting the delivery, weighing, storage and bulking for
onward transport, of this mixed dry recycling. The onward transport is an element of a
separate procurement. This transport will be coordinated such that materials are moved
from each transfer site at a suitable frequency.
The RECAP Councils have worked collaboratively for many years in the delivery of DMR
across Cambridgeshire. That collaboration continues for this procurement. The procurement
Page 7 to 30
itself is being conducted as a single procurement, but with the award of contract being in the
form of separate Lots, as described in more detail in this ITT. The Lots are presented as
alternative Lots (by reference to size), to enable the Councils to seek the broadest possible
market response. This means that an award will not be made for every Lot. This is described
in more detail in ‘Lotting Guidance’ within the ITT.
The RECAP Councils will make the decision collectively as to which Lots to award and to
which bidders. Following award, the ensuing contracts will either be concluded with an
individual Council or a number of them, depending upon which Lots have been chosen as the
best value for money.
Notwithstanding, the separate Contracts, the Councils are committed to sharing the per
tonne costs equally across Cambridgeshire and to manage the contracts on a collective
basis. They have committed to concluding an Inter Authority Agreement (IAA) to facilitate
this arrangement. The joint contract management arrangements will be reflected in each of
the contracts, but otherwise, the IAA not be affect the contractual position of each
successful bidder, whose rights and obligations will be governed solely by the Contract it has
with the individual Council or number of Councils, as the case may be
The Authorities look to secure this Bulking Service in a set of individual locations across
Cambridgeshire with suitable proximity to existing collections and/or depots with the aim of
reducing unnecessary travel.
For the avoidance of doubt, bids are welcome from contractors who can provide one or more
sites with capacity in any one or more of the geographical areas identified in the
specification. As such the Authorities welcome bids for any one or more or all the lots
available.
