Rhennir y Fframwaith yn wyth (8) Lot, a dyfernir un (1) Prif Gontractwr ac un (1) Gontractwr Wrth Gefn ar gyfer pob Lot. Mae pob Lot yn cynnwys deunydd penodol sy’n gofyn am driniaeth ailgylchu.

Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council (the Contracting Authority) is awarding a Framework Agreement for the Disposal of Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) Waste Streams as was detailed in the tender documents. The Framework is divided into eight (8) Lots, and one (1) Prime Contractor and one (1) Contingent Contractor is being awarded per Lot. Each Lot includes a specific material requiring recycling treatment. Materials will be delivered by the Contracting Authority to the Contractors facility for treatment by the Contractor. Tenderers were permitted to bid for one or more Lots.

How this framework works

From the published notice
Type
Closed framework
Call-offs
call-offs are awarded directly to appointed suppliers, without further competition
Places
up to 16 suppliers · 3 bids on the busiest of 8 lots (0.2 per place) · 3 appointed
Framework period
3 yrs · up to 4 yrs from 5 Oct 2026
Published description of the framework

Bydd gan bob Lot Brif Gontractwr a Chontractwr Wrth Gefn. Bydd contract galw i ffwrdd yn cael ei ffurfio gyda Phrif Gontractwr mewn Lot ym mhob achos. Dim ond pan na all y Prif Gontractwr gyflawni’r gwaith neu pan fo problemau perfformiad heb eu datrys y caiff gwaith ei ddyrannu i’r Contractwr Wrth Gefn.

Each Lot will have a Prime and Contingent Contractor. A call off contract will be formed with a Prime Contractor in a Lot in every case. Only when a Prime Contractor is unable to perform or has unresolved performance issues will work be allocated to a Contingent Contractor.

Lots and requirements (8)Procurement structure

8 lots · all with a published value · a supplier may bid for at most 7 and win at most 7 of them · same evaluation weights on every lot

Every one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £110,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids were scored · same split on all 8 lots
Quality: 70%Price: 30%
Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: As stated in the tender documents
  • Price: As stated in the tender documents
Lot distribution rule: Caniateir i dendrwyr gyflwyno cynigion ar gyfer un neu fwy o Lotiau. Gall hyn arwain at un tendrwr yn llwyddiannus mewn mwy nag un Lot, a gallai hefyd olygu bod un tendrwr yn llwyddiannus ym mhob un o’r Lotiau. Bydd pob Lot yn cael ei hasesu ar wahân i'r Lotiau eraill. Tenderers are permitted to bid for one or more Lots. This may result in a single tenderer being successful in more than one Lot and could result in one tenderer being successful in all Lots. Each Lot will be evaluated in isolation of the other.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Merthyr Tudful: Gwaredu Ffrydiau Gwastraff…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 16 suppliers, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
