## Description
West Northamptonshire Council (the "Authority) sought one or more suitably qualified and experienced suppliers to deliver the following services: Treatment & Disposal of Residual Waste; and Management of Household Waste Recycling Centre Services.  
The scope of the services was further detailed in the procurement documents made available on the publication of the contract notice and these procurement documents were further refined during the procurement process.
The scope of the services may change during the life of the eventual contracts.  Where the nature of any change was known to the Authority then this was detailed in the procurement documents.
The procurement was undertaken using the competitive dialogue procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
The procurement was divided into three (3) Lots:
Lot 1: Treatment & Disposal of Residual Waste ("Residual Service");
Lot 2: Management of Household Waste Recycling Centre Services ("HWRC Service"); and
Lot 3: Treatment & Disposal of Residual Waste and; Management of Household Waste Recycling Centre Services.
A separate contract was to be entered into for each of the Residual Service and HWRC Service, even if the same bidder was appointed to both services.
Lot 3 was included as an optional Lot to enable a bidder to identify the financial saving or discount that would apply if they were awarded both services.  It was not an option for a combined service and if awarded would still have resulted in two separate contracts.
Bidders were able to submit a tender for one or both of Lot 1 and Lot 2.  Bidders could only submit for Lot 3 where they submitted for Lot 1 and Lot 2 or where they submitted for only one of Lot 1 or Lot 2 but submitted a joint bid for Lot 3 with another bidder who has bid for the other of Lot 1/Lot 2.
The procurement documents set out the approach to managing the Lots with final award to be made in accordance with the award criteria.  If Lot 3 was awarded, then Lots 1 and 2 would not be awarded (and vice versa).
By applying the award criteria, the Authority awarded Lots 1 and 2.  Lot 3 was abandoned at award stage with no award made.
The figures included for overall and Lot specific values of the procurement correspondence to the original estimated values contained within the contract notice.  The contracts for each of Lot 1 and Lot 2 contain a mix of fixed and variable sums payable and so it is not possible to include a fixed value of the contracts.  The variable elements relate to tonnages of relevant contract waste and no guarantee is given on volume or composition.
As per the contract notice, the values stated in this notice exclude VAT and indexation.
