## Description
This tender is to establish a Contract for services to collect, transport and dispose of wastes
from human and/or animal healthcare and/or related research.
The objectives of the Contract are to:
• Provide a compliant, resilient, efficient, and cost-effective service , undertaking, and
managing the safe collection, handling, transport, and disposal of segregated wastes from
University sites to the point of final disposal.
• Achieve zero to landfill on all waste streams, including treated and non-hazardous waste.
• Reduce the carbon footprint of the University’s waste activities by moving waste up the
Waste Hierarchy.
• Provide monthly accurate University specific data on waste weights, uplifts, categories,
transport miles, treatment type and associated CO2 equivalent emissions.
• Support the University to train staff in ‘best practice’ waste management principles, to
reduce waste and improve segregation.
• Seek to continually improve the service delivered and develop sustainable waste
minimisation, reuse, and recycling opportunities wherever possible.
• Maintain and continually demonstrate full compliance with all regulatory requirements and
applicable codes of practice.
The awarded contract will focus on logistical and service improvements, minimisation in
environmental impact and movement up the Waste Hierarchy as well as cost efficiency.
The desired services are presented and will be awarded according to Lots. Each Lot is based

• Lot 1 - Hazardous healthcare and related research wastes requiring treatment prior to
disposal (AT) or High Temperature Incineration (HTI)
• Lot 2 - Non-Hazardous Healthcare and Related Research Wastes (appropriate for e.g.,
municipal waste to energy disposal
• Lot 3 – Chemically Contaminated Laboratory Waste from Research and Teaching
Contracts will be awarded for a period of 3 years (36 months) with an option for a further
