What is being bought

Published requirement description

Introduction

The TEC Partnership invites all suitably equipped, qualified and registered companies to tender for a contract to provide waste collection services of their sites identified in Part A of this document. During the course of the tender, site locations may vary as the organisation evolves to meet its future vision.

Scope of Services

The contract requires the provision of trained and skilled labour as appropriate and in direct relation to the undertaking.

It is anticipated that whilst this document sets out the requirements and expectations, there may be further needs and adjustments to the provision as the needs of the business operations change.

Provision to collect and appropriately dispose of the four default waste streams (as below) will be expected;

  • Residual (general) non-recyclable waste
  • Food waste
  • Paper and card
  • Dry mixed recycling

The collection schedule of the above will vary from site to site and type of waste stream, however in some cases, a daily service will be required.

During the term of this contract, sites may be reduced or increased. Decreases will come with no financial liability and any increases will be at the rates agreed within this contract.

The successful tenderer will also be expected to provide the appropriate receptacles and collection service for the following:

  • Confidential waste
  • Timber
  • Plaster/plasterboard
  • Brick
  • Furniture
  • Electrical
  • Metal
  • Animal waste – including dog waste

Ad-hoc Requests

There may be occasions that services are requested over and above, or generally differing to those scheduled. Where the service is covered in the scope of the work, it is anticipated that there are no additional charges made outside of the agreed pricing structure for the service. Where tasks are over and above the scope of the tender, through discussion with the Facilities Manager, these may be carried out under a separate purchase order.
