Dry Recycling Services

Buckinghamshire Council (the Authority) invites Tenders for the provision of dry recycling services, which include hauling, sorting and reprocessing of recyclables.

Briefly, the Authority operates a single stream kerbside dry recycling collection services in the Aylesbury Vale area only and is looking for a supplier to haul these recyclables from the Waste Transfer Station (WTS) to the supplier's Material Recovery Facility where it will be sorted for re-processing. The service required is fully outlined in the Specification (Annex 01). The WTS is located in Aylesbury and operated by the Authority.

The contract term is 3 years from 10 May 2021 to 9 May 2024 with the option to extend for up to a further 3 years to 9 May 2027.

Buckinghamshire Council is a unitary local authority created in April 2020 from the areas that were previously Buckinghamshire County Council and South Bucks, Chiltern, Wycombe and Aylesbury Vale District Councils. The provision of the Dry Recycling Services is seen by the Council as providing an essential public service to residents of the county and its visitors. Key priorities are given to improving the environment for our residents.

The Council is of the opinion that TUPE will not apply.
