What is being bought

Published requirement description

Halton Housing is seeking bids from experienced service providers for the provision of waste management and recycling services, primarily within the Borough of Halton. The service will support our in house maintenance teams, which operate eight caged vehicles requiring regular disposal of void waste, green waste and fly tipping materials.

The tender will result in a single contract with one service provider. The contract will run for an initial three year term, with the option to extend for up to two further periods of 12 months (maximum five year duration), subject to Halton Housing requirements and satisfactory performance.

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 1 May 2031, 23:59 BST.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
