Lot details

Lot 1

London River Services, forming part of Transport for London, own eight central London passenger piers which are served by various boat operators seven days a week from early morning until late evening. In order to ensure the piers are accessible for customers and are maintained to a high standard, regular cleaning is undertaken. The procurement activity undertaken was to appoint a provider to carry out a general refuse collection service from all piers. All eight piers have large wheelie bins where rubbish sacks are placed by the pier cleaning Service Providers. The loose bags are to then be transferred to a storage facility and transported to a waste recycling facility. The Service Provider shall be required to carry out refuse collection for all eight Transport for London piers, at a minimum of twice per week.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 60. The category anchor is Water transport services (60600000); 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.

        "description": "London River Services (LRS) owns eight piers (Greenwich, Tower, Bankside, Blackfriars, Festival, Embankment, Westminster and Millbank Pier) along the River Thames and is responsible for the maintenance, including refuse collection.\nCurrently, general refuse is collected from all eight piers 3 times per week. All piers have large wheelie bins where rubbish sacks are placed by the pier cleaning contractors. The loose bags are then transferred to a storage barge and transported to a waste recycling facility. \nIn addition to the general collections, ad-hoc collections are required if items are fly tipped onto TfL piers which does occasionally happen. If the boats who fly tip rubbish can be identified, the bill for the removal costs will be sent to them however this is not always possible.\nRefuse from piers are collected by boat as most piers have very limited roadside access and navigating a waste collection vehicle near to a pier is difficult.\n Due to the tidal nature of the river Thames the access brows onto piers can be very steep at low tide making it unsafe to try and manoeuvre large wheelie bins on and off piers.  This would also have operational impacts as pedestrians would also be using the narrow access brows at the same time as a road-based waste contractor are accessing the pier.\nThe rubbish collection barge is able to come alongside the pier in between scheduled boat services and transfer the loose waste bags without impacting the pier operation or customers activities.\nThe proposed service agreement term is for two (2) years  with the option to extend up to two a further (2) years.\nThe procurement documents issued with this Contract Notice via SAP Ariba provide a detailed representation of the requirements under this contract and the process to appoint the successful supplier Additional information: The value stated in Section II.1.5 and Section II.2.6 represents the maximum estimated value of the services as the four (4) year period (should TfL choose to extend beyond the initial two (2) year period). \nTfL is conducting this procurement pursuant to the PCR 2015 under the Open procedure.\nTfL will be using its SAP Ariba portal to manage communication with suppliers who express interest in this procurement in response to this Contract Notice.",
