Waste Services

Crown Commercial Services (CCS), the Authority, is putting into place a commercial agreement for use by UK public sector bodies and future successor organisations, which include Central Government Departments, Arms-Length Bodies and Agencies, NDPBs, Third Sector organisations, NHS and Local Authorities, including Primary Care.

CCS aims to allow procuring departments the ability to enter into Call-Off contracts of various sizes and complexity.

The initial positon, subject to engagement is that a full waste service provision may be broken down into multiple lots across geographical regions, for example:

Lot 1 - Municipal Waste and associated services;

Lot 2 - Clinical Waste and associated services;

Lot 3 - Commercial (Office) Waste and associated services;

Lot 4 - Classified Waste and associated services;

Lot 5 - Washroom Services;

Lot 6 - Ad-Hoc / On-Demand Waste and associated services; and

Lot 7 - Waste Management and associated services.

Additional information: The purpose of this PIN is to:

1. inform that CCS is to consider an exercise to set up a contracting vehicle as described above in II.1.4 Short Description;
2. gauge the market interest in this procurement for waste services
3. understand how best to contract with waste suppliers, including waste management suppliers, which operate in the UK waste sector;
3. identify suppliers who would like to participate in a suite of engagements CCS intends to undertake, including 1:1's and larger multi-supplier engagements. These engagements are intended to influence the strategy development and may include potential customers.

Details are available here: https://ccs-agreements.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/node/7713 this website will be periodically updated with the latest information.

To participate in the engagement process, or to register for regular comms/updates, please email: wasteservices@crowncommercial.gov.uk

Initial 1:1 engagement will take place during January to March 2020, with further sessions to be communicated to those suppliers who have registered.

1. Deliver lean sourcing procurement approach;
2. Deliver market resilience and contingency measures;
3. Deliver sustainable and environmentally beneficial solutions;
4. Adhere to legislation, regulation and best practice methodologies;
5. Incorporating Social Value principles and realisation of the associated benefits; and
6. Delivering greater value for customers.
