SECTION II: OBJECT OF THE CONTRACT
II.1) DESCRIPTION
II.1.1) Title attributed to the contract by the contracting authority:
Integrated Waste and Cleansing Services Contract.
II.1.2) Type of contract and location of works, place of delivery or of
performance: Services.
Service category: No 16.
Main place of performance: United Kingdom - West Midlands.
NUTS code: UKG.
II.1.3) The notice involves: A public contract.
II.1.5) Short description of the contract or purchase(s): Sandwell
Metropolitan Borough Council ("the Council") is seeking to procure an
integrated waste and cleansing services contract which includes waste
collection, transfer, reuse, recycling, composting, treatment and
disposal, together with cleansing and associated services. The Council may
also consider the inclusion of other environmental services. It is
anticipated that the contract will commence in mid-2010 and is likely to
be for a term of between 20 and 30 years. The length of the contract will
be subject to discussion during the Competitive Dialogue. The Council is
seeking to establish a public private partnership with either a single
private sector contractor or a consortium headed by a clearly defined lead
contractor. This could incorporate a joint venture arrangement for all or
part of the services. Current MSW arisings are approximately 140 000
tonnes per annum and it is anticipated that this figure could rise to 200
000 tonnes by 2030. The Council is seeking a best-value solution that may
involve using existing waste recycling, composting, treatment, transfer
and depot facilities or the construction of new facilities. The Council
intends to purchase and remediate a site in West Bromwich which would then
be made available to the contractor for development as an Eco-Park
(recycling, composting, treatment, transfer and depot facilities) if
required. Remediation of the site could be carried out by either the
Council or the successful contractor. The Council is willing to consider
the provision of facilities with a greater capacity than that required for
this contract to allow the acceptance of third party wastes where this is
beneficial to the Council. This may include working with the Council to
provide services to other local authorities in the West Midlands. The
Council have signed a Memorandum of Understanding and Agreement with
Staffordshire County Council for the treatment and disposal of between 50
000 and 60 000 tonnes per annum of residual waste at its proposed new
Energy from Waste Facility which is scheduled to open between 2013 and
2015. The Council may be interested in the successful contractor providing
some interim treatment and disposal capacity in the period from
commencement of this contract until the Staffordshire Energy Waste
Facility is available. The Council may also be interested in the
contractor providing treatment or disposal capacity for residual tonnages
in excess of the capacity available for the Council in the Staffordshire
Energy from Waste Facility. Bidders selected to participate in the
Competitive Dialogue will be invited to put forward their proposals during
the dialogue. In recognition of the fact that the procurement process will
take approximately two years to complete, the Council is currently
evaluating separately procuring interim waste disposal solutions which may
also provide waste disposal from the commencement of this contract until
the Staffordshire Energy from Waste Facility is available. The Contractor
may be required to manage these arrangements from the commencement date as
a nominated sub-contractor. The Council may consider purchasing any
electricity and/or biofuel produced by the Contractor.
