About

On 5 August 2022, arc21 published notice 2022/S 000-021639 (the "Notice") concerning the establishment of arc21's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for its ongoing requirement for the supply of services relating to the Treatment and Energy Recovery/Disposal of Residual Waste Arisings. The DPS was initially established on 27 October 2022. The period of validity stated in the Notice was for an initial period of 48 months (i.e. until 27 October 2026), but the Notice stated that the DPS was anticipated to remain live for a further 48 months after this. The purpose of this notice is to record that the period of validity of the DPS has been changed by extending the period of validity to 23 February 2029 (so that the period of validity of the DPS is from 27 October 2022 to 23 February 2029). The DPS is divided into four (4) Lots, for the provision of services relating to the treatment and energy recovery or disposal of Member Councils' residual waste arisings: Lot 1 predominantly incorporates residual kerbside collections and residual waste from commercial/trade collections, which may be mixed with other residual waste streams. Lot 2 predominantly incorporates residual waste from Household Waste Recycling Centres which may be mixed with other residual waste streams. Lot 3 predominantly incorporates combined residual kerbside waste from commercial/trade collections and Household Waste Recycling Centre waste which may be mixed with other residual waste streams. Lot 4 predominantly incorporates other residual waste streams such as street litter, bulky waste and fly tipped waste and which may include waste arising from bonfires that has not or cannot be combined in any of the Lots. Within each of the Lots there may also be a requirement for the Contractor(s) to provide a delivery point(s) within a specified range; the loading of waste and/or an element of waste transport. The DPS is a two-stage process. There is no intention to limit the minimum and maximum number of service providers. The DPS will be open to entrants, throughout its life, who meet the minimum criteria. Further information on the selection process can be found within the procurement documents. In addition to the specific Participating Bodies detailed in the notice, Call-Off Competitions may include waste from NI Councils who are not constituent councils of arc21. For previous information regarding this DPS, please refer to the original Contract Notice reference: 2022/S 000-021639, https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021639-2022? For the avoidance of doubt, Economic Operators that have already had Applications accepted under the DPS do not need to respond to this Contract Notice as they are already admitted to the DPS under their respective Lots.
