What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Authority invites tenders for the provision of services relating to the receipt, storage and bulk transfer of municipal waste primarily for use by Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council. 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 municipal waste is 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 within the scope of the Contract and/or the nature and degree of segregation of the municipal waste may change. The appointed Contractor will also be responsible for collating and reporting data and reporting performance relevant to the Contract.
