CWC23032 Provision of Management Services of Energy from Waste Plant

The Council is seeking a Supplier who shall be able to transfer and hold the Environmental Permit for the site and comply with the EA requirements, as well as provide the appropriate technical and competent management of the facility on a day-to-day basis. The council owns an operational purpose built Energy from Waste (EfW) plant located at Crown Street, Wolverhampton. The council requires the supplier to provide competent technical oversight and comprehensive Management services for the delivery of the daily operational supervision of the council’s Energy from Waste plant, which will include day to day responsibility for managing the council’s workforce at the plant. The Contractor will need to be able to transfer the Environmental Permit for the site and comply with the EA requirements, as well as provide the appropriate technical and competent management of the facility on a day to day basis. The estimated Annual value will be £7 Million with a total contract value (if extensions are made) will be £28 Million. Please note that this estimated figure is higher than the Council wishes to pay, but is needed to take into consideration any future increases due to inflation. The Supplier may agree with the Council during the term of the Contract to directly employ the dedicated labour force currently employed by the Council at the plant(‘Labour Transfer Agreement’). Negotiation of such a Labour Transfer Agreement is not an obligation upon either party. If such a Labour Transfer Agreement is made it will be made as a variation to this Contract. Please Note: If this option was taken during the contract period then the estimated value of the contract would be £8.9 million per annum, which is the figure that has been used for the estimated contract value advertised. This will be for an initial 2 (Two Year) period, with the option to extend for a further 2 (Two) x 1 (one) year periods.
