What is being bought

South Oxfordshire District Council and Vale of White Horse District Council (the Councils) as second tier Waste Collection Authorities operate a shared household waste and recycling collection service. This is currently contracted out to a waste collection company whose material sorting arm accepts the Dry Mixed Recycling (DMR) material at its Material Recovery Facility (MRF). The DMR is fully co-mingled in line with the Governments Core Materials Set. That means that all recycling other than food and garden waste are collected within the same receptacle from households. The current contractual arrangements for this service is due to expire on 28 June 2026. This procurement concerns the proposed award of a new contract to a suitable Supplier that is intended to replace/succeed the existing arrangements which is anticipated to commence from Monday 29 June 2026. This proposed contract is for the transport of the Councils' DMR from the Waste Transfer Station to a MRF for separation and onward sale to the markets for re-processing. Under the proposed contract the Councils require that the DMR be collected from the Waste Transfer Station. The Councils will not be supplying vehicles for this purpose and it will be the responsibility of the successful Supplier to secure suitable vehicles for the provision of this service. The Waste Transfer Station is operated by FCC Recycling (UK) Limited, who the Councils hold a contract with for receiving DMR and making it available to Hauliers. The Waste Transfer Station is located at Appleford Sidings, OX14 4PW. Once the DMR has been picked up from the Waste Transfer Station and transported to a MRF the successful Supplier will be responsible for ensuring that all the recyclable materials received at the MRF or MRFs will then be separated out into the key material types and sold onto re-processing markets. Under this contract the successful Supplier will be required to separate out the maximum amount of DMR received and pass this on to re-processors, minimising the amount of recyclate sent for disposal. A split from the sale of materials, as described within the Pricing Schedule, will be passed on by the Supplier to the Councils. It will track the LetsRecycle pricing index. The Councils are in the top 5 in the country for recycling performance and have been so for over a decade. The recyclate in scope for this contract is, in comparison to many other local authorities, low in contaminants. Total annual tonnages are circa 27,000.

    "description": "South Oxfordshire District Council and Vale of White Horse District Council (the Councils) as second tier Waste Collection Authorities operate a shared household waste and recycling collection service. This is currently contracted out to a waste collection company whose material sorting arm accepts the Dry Mixed Recycling (DMR) material at its Material Recovery Facility (MRF). The DMR is fully co-mingled in line with the Governments Core Materials Set. That means that all recycling other than food and garden waste are collected within the same receptacle from households. The current contractual arrangements for this service is due to expire on 28 June 2026. This procurement concerns the proposed award of a new contract to a suitable Supplier that is intended to replace/succeed the existing arrangements which is anticipated to commence from Monday 29 June 2026. \nThis proposed contract is for the transport of the Councils' DMR from the Waste Transfer Station to a MRF for separation and onward sale to the markets for re-processing. \nUnder the proposed contract the Councils require that the DMR be collected from the Waste Transfer Station. The Councils will not be supplying vehicles for this purpose and it will be the responsibility of the successful Supplier to secure suitable vehicles for the provision of this service. \nThe Waste Transfer Station is operated by FCC Recycling (UK) Limited, who the Councils hold a contract with for receiving DMR and making it available to Hauliers. \nThe Waste Transfer Station is located at Appleford Sidings, OX14 4PW.\nOnce the DMR has been picked up from the Waste Transfer Station and transported to a MRF the successful Supplier will be responsible for ensuring that all the recyclable materials received at the MRF or MRFs will then be separated out into the key material types and sold onto re-processing markets. \nUnder this contract the successful Supplier will be required to separate out the maximum amount of DMR received and pass this on to re-processors, minimising the amount of recyclate sent for disposal. \nA split from the sale of materials, as described within the Pricing Schedule, will be passed on by the Supplier to the Councils. It will track the LetsRecycle pricing index. \nThe Councils are in the top 5 in the country for recycling performance and have been so for over a decade. The recyclate in scope for this contract is, in comparison to many other local authorities, low in contaminants. Total annual tonnages are circa 27,000.",

    "riskDetails": "As Suppliers will be aware, there a number of changes/schemes that are in consultation and/or to be introduced in the waste sector in the near future. However, the impact of such matters is unknown. \nThe Councils consider that the following are known risks which, if they were to materialise, could jeopardise the satisfactory performance of the contract for the Councils but that, due to their nature, they cannot be addressed in the contract as awarded.  As such, the occurrence of all or any of these risks may necessitate a subsequent modification to the contract under paragraph 5 of Schedule 8 to the Procurement Act 2023.\n1.\tThe implementation of the Simpler Recycling in England policy, Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging (pEPR) and introduction of a Deposit Return Scheme (DRS). \n2.\tThe requirement under the 1990 Environment Act and other related provisions to carry out a Technical, Economic, Environmental, Practicable (TEEP) assessment. The Councils anticipate undertaking another TEEP assessment during the lifetime of the contract. The extent and impact changes required following the TEEP Assessment will not be known at the commencement of the contract but it is anticipated that further information in relation to the impact of this known risk will be available during the lifetime of the contract. \n3.\tDuring the lifetime of the contract changes to LetsRecycle market-led indexes may be made and the contract may need to be varied to reflect these changes.\n4.\tAn infrastructure collapse could occur in a domestic market/solution which may mean that trading material to a destination may be restricted or stopped entirely. \n5.\tThere may be an overseas market failure, which the supplier will have no control over and this may mean that the preferred export destination is restricted or cannot be utilised impacting on the ability for products to be sold. \n6.\tFinally, the Councils are subject to the English Devolution White Paper which will lead to local government re-organisation potentially during the term of this contract. This has now moved on to proposals in the  English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill. This risk is defined as a known unknown risk as we do not yet understand the implications of that potential re-organisation for the contract.\nPlease see Schedule 4 to the Contract for further information",
