What is being bought

Cardiff Council is looking to secure a 6 month recycling contract (with an optional 6-month extension) for the Transportation and Processing of Street Litter. The estimated monthly tonnage available is approximately 400t, however this tonnage is not guaranteed and is subject to seasonal fluctuations. The Contractor will be responsible for the processing and disposal of all waste and must provide the Authority with a guaranteed minimum recycling rate of 70%. This process is intended to inform the Council’s understanding of the market and is not part of a formal procurement process. Should the Council decide to proceed, a formal procurement process may follow at a later date. Any responses received will not prejudice any involvement in a future procurement process and will not include or preclude any organisation from participating in any future procurement process. All information provided as part of this exercise will be provided to all parties involved in any future procurement exercise. Local Authorities are subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000, and cannot guarantee that information received will remain confidential. • Can you please provide the Council relevant experience of providing collection and treatment services for similar material and tonnages to this contract. • Can you supply the Council with details on how recycling targets can be maximised. • Please provide the Council with an example of the structure of your charges for such a service. All responses to the above questions must be submitted via https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/Account/Login by searching the reference ERFX1008777

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services (71000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 714,1413 median · 30.1 average (1,193 of 4,141 with a bid count)3.9 average (1,318 of 4,141 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
