Official UK procurement notice
Recycling Locator Development – Refill options
Authority: Waste & Resources Action Programme (Public body)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionWRAP has won funding to extend the Recycling Locator tool to include reuse and refill locations, helping to promote refill behaviours alongside recycling behaviours, to help drive demand and customer buy in and giving people greater freedom to shop plastic-free. The extension will enable shoppers to enter their postcode and find local reuse/refill stations. To support the extension WRAP is seeking a partner who can provide an up to date, quality checked dataset of UK reuse and refill locations with close to 100% coverage of available outlets. The primary focus of the dataset should be retail (i.e. zero waste shopping) rather than hospitality and food service (i.e. water refill, coffee cup return schemes, reusable takeaway schemes).

- Published justification
WRAP would like to include new data within the Recycling Locator on Refill locations (e.g. places where consumers can refill household items such as toiletries and cleaning products following an agreed taxonomy of products) so that options for the user are improved, and reuse behaviours are promoted alongside recycling behaviours.
City to Sea hold the most populated and respected data set of refill locations in the UK. The work specified in this RFQ covers the opportunity to quality assure this location data is quality checked and verified to limit any liability for WRAP, when locations are added to the Recycle Locator.
