## Description
The Council wishes to establish a single provider for the provision of two material handling machines.  The Council is managing this procurement in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations.  This is a supply and goods contract plus associated and routine maintenance of the supplied machines being procured under the Open procedure. The material handling machines are for the management of waste and recycling materials on our Household Waste & Recycling Centres.
The Council is procuring Contract  for itself.
The council seeks to procure machines that allow the safe and efficient management of materials brought into the household waste and recycling centre.  This will involve managing materials tipped in bays on the floor and materials directly tipped in 40-yard containers.
The two new machines are replacements for a JCB - JS20MH Material handler and a Caterpillar M318D Wheeled Excavator
The operatives will need to have full unobstructed vision and enough boom / stick reach to enable them to sort and crush material in 40-yard containers from the end aspect where we are unable to pull alongside them.
We have sensitive neighbours so the machines must operate with minimal noise levels.
Safety is a key priority so daily checks, driver maintenance, refuelling etc should be carried out from ground level where possible, should any tasks require climbing onto the machine suitable safety rails and guards are required.
