T22-124ENV Provision for the services for the haulage, treatment, recycling and disposal of NWRWMG collected Local Authority Street Sweeping and Gully Waste

Derry City and Strabane District Council and Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council each wish to procure a separate contract for the provision for the haulage, treatment, recycling and disposal of Street Sweeping and Gully Waste. The Authorities each have a statutory duty under the Waste and Contaminated Land (Northern Ireland) Order 1997 No. 2778 (N.I. 19) (Part II Articles 20(1)(a)(b) and 20(2)) to arrange for the collection of household, commercial and industrial waste. The Authorities are also required under the 1997 Order (Part II, Article 25(1)(a)) to make arrangements for the disposal of any waste collected or removed under Article 20 of the 1997 Order. The Authorities have jointly published a contract notice in the OJEU and are each seeking to award a contract under four separate lots (each a “Lot”) as follows: Lot 1: Derry City and Strabane District Council – Lot 1 concerns a contract for the collection, acceptance, treatment, processing, recycling and disposal of Street Cleaning and Gully waste material collected by Derry City and Strabane District Council or on its behalf. The appointed Contractor shall ensure that it is able to collect, accept, treat, process, recycle and/or dispose of up to 2,650 tonnes of such waste from Derry City and Strabane District Council at its Principal Facilities, however there shall be no guaranteed minimum tonnage provided under the Contract. Lot 2: Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council – Lot 2 concerns a contract for the collection, acceptance, treatment, processing, recycling and disposal of Street Cleaning and Gully waste material collected by Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council or on its behalf. The appointed Contractor shall ensure that it is able to collect, accept, treat, process, recycle and/or dispose of up to 1,500 tonnes of such waste from Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council at its Principal Facilities, however there shall be no guaranteed minimum tonnage provided under the Contract. These Contracts will form an important part of each Council’s forward-looking strategy to manage waste in its area by reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill and increasing recycling rates. Appointed Contractors will be required to ensure that Contract Waste is recycled, reused, recovered and/or treated in recognition of the waste hierarchy before landfilled in order to maximise diversion.
