Southend Residual and Bulky Waste disposal 2022

Southend-on-Sea City Council ("The Authority") is a unitary council with responsibility for both waste collection and disposal. This contract is for the receipt, acceptance, handling, processing, treatment and disposal of the residual waste streams collected from within the Authority’s administrative area. Residual and Bulky Waste streams shall include domestic kerbside refuse, bulky waste collected from the kerbside, bulky waste deposited by residents at household waste and recycling centres, mechanical sweepings/litter/dog waste, beach waste and fly tipping. The Authority does not currently collect Commercial Waste but has an aspiration to include this in its collection arrangements in the near future. The Authority therefore reserves the right to introduce residual and bulky waste streams from its commercial waste collection to this Contract should it operate such a service during the Contract term. The Authority estimates that Contractor will receive 36,900 tonnes of Residual Waste and 7,400 tonnes of Bulky Waste per annum, but shall not provide a guarantee of minimum tonnage. The Authority's waste collection contractor operates a Waste Transfer Station where all Residual and Bulky waste is stored for bulking up for onward transportation to treatment and disposal destinations. The Authority's waste collection contractor is also responsible for the haulage of the Residual and Bulky Waste to the treatment and disposal facility. The Authority therefore requires a Contractor to receive and treat/dispose of the Residual and Bulky Waste. The Authority is technology and solution neutral, provided that the proposal meets the Authority’s needs and requirements as set out in the procurement documents. The Authority does not require exclusive bespoke facilities to be provided and is willing to consider all options that may be offered provided that they are deliverable, will achieve the Authority’s requirements and subject to cost.
