What is being bought

Leicester City Council is conducting a Competitive Flexible Procedure for the collection of kerbside household waste in Leicester, management and operation of a waste transfer station, and associated services. This contract will replace the existing PFI arrangement on expiry in 2028. The Authority's key objectives are to: • Provide good quality, cost-efficient, value for money waste services. • Engage, educate and support residents to minimise their waste, maximise repair, reuse, recycling and composting, and to understand how to access, and make the most of, reuse services. • Minimise the carbon emissions and other greenhouse gases arising from the collection, treatment and disposal of waste. • Minimise the amount of waste sent to landfill. • Provide waste services that can evolve as necessary to support anticipated growth of household and population numbers in the City. This will include: • Household residual waste and dry mixed recycling (DMR) collections on an alternate weekly basis (fortnightly) instead of weekly. • The introduction of wheeled DMR bins to replace single use bags as standard. • Implementation of weekly food waste collections as early as possible. • Retention of bespoke and / or more frequent arrangements for communal collection points and others as appropriate, as well as exception processes for households with specific requirements for assistance. • Continuation of fortnightly garden waste collections from March to November. • Continuation of clinical waste collections from households on request. • Continuation of bulky waste collections from households on request. Scope The Contract shall include the following Services: • Household Waste and Recycling Collection including: - Residual Waste Collection Service - Dry Mixed Recycling Collection Service - Food Waste Collection Service - Garden Waste Collection Service - Bulky Waste Collection Service - Clinical Waste Collection Service - Other provisional items such as servicing bring banks and a commercial waste collection Service, should they become core items. • The Contractor will procure new vehicles suitable to deliver the services on behalf of the Authority. The Authority intends to provide the capital funding for the purchase of new vehicles in line with the processes set out in the Contract and associated Schedules. • Provision of Depot: The Authority shall provide the Contractor with a Depot and Waste Transfer Station (the Bursom site) for use on the basis of a peppercorn rent. • Provisional items are included under this procurement, which will be subject to the dialogue component of this CPF. These are listed in Schedule 3 Specification. This contract does not include disposal of waste arisings, which will be subject to separate procurements. Further details are available within the associated tender documents. Please note the value of the contract (Estimated) allows for indexation and includes vehicle replacement costs throughout the full 16 year term.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 90. The category anchor is Household-refuse collection services (90511200); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

Risk detailsThe Authority has considered paragraph 5 (Materialisation of a known risk) of Schedule 8 of the PA23 and identified local government reorganisation ('LGR') as a risk that may materialise and in doing so may jeopardise the satisfactory performance of the Contract, but because of its nature, is unable to be addressed in the Contract as awarded. Where, during the term of the Contract, the relevant conditions under paragraph 5 of Schedule 8 PA23 are satisfied, the Contracting Authority may modify the Contract to remedy the risk, as a permitted contract modification under PA23. Further information about LGR and its likely impact on the Contracting Authority's administrative area, is available at [https://www.leicester.gov.uk/about-council/city-mayor-peter-soulsby/local-government-reorganisation-and-devolution].

The associated tender documents include the 'Procurement Specific Questionnaire' and accompanying instructions, the draft 'Invitation to Submit Interim Tenders', and the draft Contract (and its Schedules).\nThe Contracting Authority reserves its right to rely on section 24 PA 2023 to refine award criteria as part of the competitive flexible procedure. Refinements to the award criteria may include but are not limited to:\n•\trefining award criteria weightings\n•\tadding sub-criteria or more detail to the sub-criteria (relevant to the existing main criteria). \nIn addition, the Contracting Authority may also rely on section 31 PA 2023 to modify the terms of the procurement as set out in this tender notice or the associated tender documents.\nWhere applying any final tender-specific pass/fail criteria at final tender stage (and not at interim tender stage) in accordance with the published assessment methodology in the draft Invitation to Submit Interim Tender, this does not constitute a refinement of award criteria under section 24 nor a modification of terms of the procurement under section 31 PA 2023 requiring the republication of this tender notice."

Feedback indicated that splitting the requirements for Collections and Disposals into separate procurements, and for the Collections element to be a single Lot, was preferred by the market. The Council considered the feedback provided and in the interest of attracting as much competition as possible for this tender, it was decided a single procurement would be used and that the other requirements currently within the existing contract would be procured separately, i.e. treatment and disposal of waste streams and management of LCC's two Household Waste Recycling Centres. Splitting the collections by smaller geographical locations is not considered to be economically or administratively advantageous."

The associated tender documents include the 'Procurement Specific Questionnaire' and accompanying instructions, the draft 'Invitation to Submit Interim Tenders', and the draft Contract (and its Schedules).\nThe Contracting Authority reserves its right to rely on section 24 PA 2023 to refine award criteria as part of the competitive flexible procedure. Refinements to the award criteria may include but are not limited to:\n•\trefining award criteria weightings\n•\tadding sub-criteria or more detail to the sub-criteria (relevant to the existing main criteria). \nIn addition, the Contracting Authority may also rely on section 31 PA 2023 to modify the terms of the procurement as set out in this tender notice or the associated tender documents.\nWhere applying any final tender-specific pass/fail criteria at final tender stage (and not at interim tender stage) in accordance with the published assessment methodology in the draft Invitation to Submit Interim Tender, this does not constitute a refinement of award criteria under section 24 nor a modification of terms of the procurement under section 31 PA 2023 requiring the republication of this tender notice."

Feedback indicated that splitting the requirements for Collections and Disposals into separate procurements, and for the Collections element to be a single Lot, was preferred by the market. The Council considered the feedback provided and in the interest of attracting as much competition as possible for this tender, it was decided a single procurement would be used and that the other requirements currently within the existing contract would be procured separately, i.e. treatment and disposal of waste streams and management of LCC's two Household Waste Recycling Centres. Splitting the collections by smaller geographical locations is not considered to be economically or administratively advantageous."

    "description": "Leicester City Council is conducting a Competitive Flexible Procedure for the collection of kerbside household waste in Leicester, management and operation of a waste transfer station, and associated services. This contract will replace the existing PFI arrangement on expiry in 2028.\nThe Authority's key objectives are to: \n •\tProvide good quality, cost-efficient, value for money waste services.  \n•\tEngage, educate and support residents to minimise their waste, maximise repair, reuse, recycling and composting, and to understand how to access, and make the most of, reuse services. \n•\tMinimise the carbon emissions and other greenhouse gases arising from the collection, treatment and disposal of waste. \n•\tMinimise the amount of waste sent to landfill. \n•\tProvide waste services that can evolve as necessary to support anticipated growth of household and population numbers in the City. \nThis will include:\n •\tHousehold residual waste and dry mixed recycling (DMR) collections on an alternate weekly basis (fortnightly) instead of weekly. \n•\tThe introduction of wheeled DMR bins to replace single use bags as standard. \n•\tImplementation of weekly food waste collections as early as possible. \n•\tRetention of bespoke and / or more frequent arrangements for communal collection points and others as appropriate, as well as exception processes for households with specific requirements for assistance. \n•\tContinuation of fortnightly garden waste collections from March to November. \n•\tContinuation of clinical waste collections from households on request. \n•\tContinuation of bulky waste collections from households on request.\nScope\nThe Contract shall include the following Services:\n• Household Waste and Recycling Collection including:\n  - Residual Waste Collection Service\n  - Dry Mixed Recycling Collection Service\n  - Food Waste Collection Service\n  - Garden Waste Collection Service\n  - Bulky Waste Collection Service\n  - Clinical Waste Collection Service\n  - Other provisional items such as servicing bring banks and a commercial waste collection Service, should they become core items.\n•\tThe Contractor will procure new vehicles suitable to deliver the services on behalf of the Authority. The Authority intends to provide the capital funding for the purchase of new vehicles in line with the processes set out in the Contract and associated Schedules.\n•\tProvision of Depot: The Authority shall provide the Contractor with a Depot and Waste Transfer Station (the Bursom site) for use on the basis of a peppercorn rent. \n•\tProvisional items are included under this procurement, which will be subject to the dialogue component of this CPF.\nThese are listed in Schedule 3 Specification.\nThis contract does not include disposal of waste arisings, which will be subject to separate procurements.\nFurther details are available within the associated tender documents.\nPlease note the value of the contract (Estimated) allows for indexation and includes vehicle replacement costs throughout the full 16 year term.",
    "riskDetails": "The Authority has considered paragraph 5 (Materialisation of a known risk) of Schedule 8 of the PA23 and identified local government reorganisation ('LGR') as a risk that may materialise and in doing so may jeopardise the satisfactory performance of the Contract, but because of its nature, is unable to be addressed in the Contract as awarded. Where, during the term of the Contract, the relevant conditions under paragraph 5 of Schedule 8 PA23 are satisfied, the Contracting Authority may modify the Contract to remedy the risk, as a permitted contract modification under PA23. \nFurther information about LGR and its likely impact on the Contracting Authority's administrative area, is available at [https://www.leicester.gov.uk/about-council/city-mayor-peter-soulsby/local-government-reorganisation-and-devolution].",
