The site is the former East Sussex County Council Highways Depot at Elva Way, Bexhill-on-Sea. The freehold is held by East Sussex County Council; Rother District Council is the leaseholder. The site is in continuous operational use as a waste collection depot by Biffa Waste Services Ltd under the Joint Waste Partnership (Rother District Council, Wealden District Council and Hastings Borough Council). The site comprises a generally rectangular concrete-surfaced yard with vehicular access from Elva Way to the north via existing double gates. The southern boundary adjoins residential properties on Buckland Drive. Existing site infrastructure to remain includes arm-code barrier, smoking shelter, cycle stores, lockers and existing welfare portacabin facilities. Demolition and clearance works have been completed prior to Contract commencement by others. The Contractor is not required to disturb the existing welfare portacabin arrangement, which is held under a separate contract. Biffa Waste Services Ltd will continue all waste collection, vehicle washing, refuelling, dispatch and depot operations throughout the duration of the Works. The site access on Elva Way will be shared with Biffa vehicles entering and exiting their facilities. The Joint Waste Partnership's statutory waste service must not be interrupted during the Works. Specific limitations on method and sequence arising from this concurrent occupation are set out in the tender documents. The Council is seeking to contract with an organisation that will manage the Services to the highest levels of satisfaction, professional standards and cost effectiveness. The Contractor will be expected to deliver improvements to service delivery and value for money over the life of the contract.
