## Description
Portsmouth City Council ('the council') invited tenders from suitably qualified suppliers to provide waste collection services primarily at Portsmouth International Port ('the port').
The following waste streams required collection:
CORE WASTE STREAM REQUIREMENTS:
- General waste - non recyclable
- General waste - recyclable
- Food waste
- Cat 1 international food waste
- Plastic waste
- Paper and cardboard
- Glass
- Metal (Ferrous and non-ferrous)
- Wood waste
Non-Core WASTE STREAM REQUIREMENTS:
- Cooking oil on pallets and in IBCs
- Grease trap
- Gas bottles
- Incinerator ash
- Hazardous waste such as oily rags, paint tins etc.
- Medical Waste
- Lampsafe
- WEEE waste
- Scrubber waste
The services required relate to the handling of waste generated directly at the port and waste collection requirements of visiting visiting vessels such as cruise vessels. Waste collection services were also required at the The Camber, Old Portsmouth which accommodates fishing and other smaller vessels.
The initial contract term is for 3 years with possibility of extending the term by a further 2 years to a maximum total term of 5 years in increments to be agreed, subject to the agreement and performance of both parties.
Suppliers could bid on the basis of utilising sub-contracting arrangements, however the lead supplier / contractor is required to maintain overall responsibility for delivery of all contract requirements.
Suppliers could submit tenders in respect of one or both of two Lot options, being:
- Lot 1 - Core Waste Stream Requirements
- Lot 2 - Core & Non-Core Waste Stream Requirements
The estimated value of the contact in respect of each Lot option could range from approximately:
- Lot 1 - £75,000 - £100,000 per annum
- Lot 2 - £100,000 - £150,000 per annum
The actual value of the contract is variable and will be driven by trade levels at the port which will determine the volume of waste which will require collection, therefore the values stated above are non-binding.
The Council had sole discretion decide which lot to award from, however it was the Council's preference to award from lot 2 subject to confidence in delivery and affordability. 
The Council notified all bidders of award of the contract on 11th July to Biffa  Waste Services Ltd under Lot 2 for contract start on 1st November 2023. 
The Council reserves the right to add / remove types of waste streams and amend volumes of waste to the contract throughout the contract term in order to meet any changes in operational requirements.
The procurement process was run in accordance with the Open Procedure as set out within the Public Contracts Regulations (2015).
