Published requirement description

Cyngor Gwynedd is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement for the recycling and/or disposal of inert waste (Rubble) collected from Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) located throughout Gwynedd.

The purpose of this procurement is to appoint suitably qualified and licensed service providers capable of accepting, handling, transporting (where applicable), recycling and/or disposing of Inert waste Rubble in accordance with all applicable environmental legislation.

The Authority wishes to maximise recycling performance whilst ensuring compliance with waste management regulations and delivering value for money.

The requirement is divided into the following geographical lots:

Lot 1A – Arfon Area

Lot 2D – Dwyfor Area

Lot 3M – Meirionnydd Area

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 25 Sept 2030, 23:59 BST.

How Cyngor Gwynedd buys Refuse disposal and treatment (CPV 9051) — and who usually turns up

How the contest usually goes

Left: this authority. Right: the market where the work is delivered. Bids and award-vs-estimate pairs are per lot, from contested frameworks and DPS only — direct awards (including PA 2023 transparency notices) report one bid by definition and are left out. On Procurement Act 2023 notices the count is the tenders assessed at the final stage, not every submission received; pairs compare like with like (VAT-exclusive, or VAT-inclusive on both sides). Empty means nothing was published, not filled in from elsewhere.

Where this tender’s estimate would land if the usual pattern repeats.

We apply the buyer’s usual movement between estimate and award (or the region’s) to the estimate on this notice.

This notice gives one total for several lots, so we show the percentage but do not turn it into pounds.

A benchmark, not a price to bid.

Awards in Cyngor Gwynedd (all categories, n=31 pairs) land a median 9% below. Applied to each lot’s own published value in the lot table below — the notice total (£400,000) is an envelope for 3 lots and is not converted.
Coverage and what to read with care
  • Each tile explains itself. The on a figure says what it is, how it is counted and which scope this notice’s own record came from (class, division, all categories, or the authority’s 24-month row). The two columns are never blended and nothing is filled from a UK-wide figure; an empty tile means the source published nothing usable. Long form: Methodology.
  • Coverage. Roughly 40 % of notices publish a bid count; about half publish an ITL1 delivery location, so the market column reads the authority’s registered region when the notice has none (labelled). About 30 % of award-vs-estimate pairs are exact matches — the buyer published the award at the estimate. n is on every figure; a thin sample is muted, never hidden.
  • “Match” and “relevance” are model scores from the nightly matcher, not published facts. Find a Tender does not publish who is bidding. Never shown: contact details, payment behaviour, or a recommended price.
