Bulk Waste Removal

Guinness are carrying out a procurement exercise to enter into contracts for the provision of bulk waste removal services across our Estates.

Bulk Waste consists of:

•Bulk waste (fly tipping) scheduled (milk round) and / or ad hoc.

•Green waste scheduled (milk round) and / or ad hoc.

•Skimming of paladin refuse bins, bin room floors and bin chutes containing domestic waste in between scheduled bin collection services by other providers e.g. Local Authorities, either as an ad hoc or as a scheduled service,

•Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) (expected during fly tipping collections) •Hazardous and potentially hazardous wood (expected during fly tipping collections); and •Provision of skips through schedule of rates.

Guinness wants to understand whether it is possible to secure added value from Bidders by procuring a contract for a larger area. Or, alternatively, whether smaller suppliers are able to provide better value to reduce overheads and a more concentrated local presence within the geographical contract areas that are on offer. Therefore, the Contract is divided into seven geographical Lots, plus two additional Lots which are a combination of three of the other lots each plus a lot which is the combination of all seven lots. The lots which demonstrate the best value for money will be awarded.

Only one supplier will be appointed to each of the lots that are to be awarded.

The contracts will be in place for an initial term of three years with the option to extend for a further two periods of 12 months, up to a maximum of five years.
