Lancashire County Council is seeking a supplier for the collection, transportation, acceptance and recovery of Treated Residual Waste from Thornton Waste Recovery Park. The services cover collection, direct transportation, weighing and recovery of up to 75,000 tonnes per annum, procured as two lots of up to 37,500 tonnes per annum each, with a single provider to be appointed for each lot. The Authority will pay providers for a guaranteed minimum tonnage each Contract Year (details in Annex B) and will notify a Reserve Tonnage at least three months before each Contract Year that providers must be able to accept; the Reserve Tonnage will fall between the Guaranteed and Capacity tonnages. Collections are expected to be mainly in articulated vehicles with target payloads of 21–23 tonnes and will typically take place Monday to Friday excluding Bank Holidays, although occasional Saturday collections up to 12 noon may be required. Please see the tender documents for full scope and requirements.
