Provision of Mixed Inert Waste Acceptance and Recycling Services (3 Lots)
Authority: Lancashire County Council (Local council)·On behalf of: SOCIAL VALUE PORTAL LTD
What is being bought3 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionLancashire County Council was seeking tenders for the provision of Mixed Inert Waste Acceptance and Recycling Services.
In summary, the Services will comprise the acceptance, weighing and Recycling of Mixed Inert Waste arising from Lancashire's Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) and delivered to a Provider's Facility by the Authority and/or its transport contractor.
The Mixed Inert Waste may be delivered by the Authority and/or its respective transport contractor(s) predominantly using hooklift vehicles and 16-yard skips although the Authority reserves the right to use alternative vehicles, such as 8 wheeled tippers or articulated vehicles.
The Mixed Inert Waste will be made available to Providers under the List of Wastes Code 17 09 04.
- The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 12 Jan 2030, 23:59 GMT.
- No preliminary market engagement: A preliminary market engagement notice has been published (see OCID ocds-h6vhtk-05128a) . However, following market engagement the Authority has decided to publish two separate tenders which relate to the original pipeline and preliminary market engagement notices. The Find a Tender system appears to only allow one tender notice to be linked to an OCID, so the checkbox for this particular notice has had to be unchecked to allow for publication of this tender notice.
