Provision of services for the receipt, storage and transfer of mixed dry recyclable material
Authority: arc21 (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Authority invited tenders for the provision of services primarily for the receipt and bulking of mixed dry recyclables that have been collected by Newry, Mourne and Down District Council prior to bulking and transfer to a nominated Material Recovery Facility. Due to the nature of the Relevant Member Councils requirements, there is a specific geographical constraint which defines the location of the Delivery Point to which the mixed dry recyclables are to be delivered for this Contract. Over the Term, there is the possibility but no guarantee, that other material waste streams may also be included/removed within the scope of the Contract and/or the nature and degree of segregation of the mixed dry recyclables may change. In addition, the Authority may also use this contract for other ad hoc loads, which may be utilised, as a contingency arrangement for the Relevant Member Council for other waste streams. The appointed Contractor will also be responsible for collating and reporting date and reporting performance relevant to the Contract.

- Price carries 70 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
