Tender: Warwickshire County Council DPS for Management of Hazardous, Recyclable and Bulky Waste

About

Warwickshire County Council is seeking suppliers for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to manage a wide range of waste materials brought to Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) and Waste Transfer Stations across Warwickshire, reflecting increased waste segregation and resulting niche or low‑volume streams. Materials include automotive batteries, oil, chemicals, paint, gas cylinders, fire extinguishers, printer cartridges, plasterboard, various plastics, glass, non‑ferrous metals, textiles and waste upholstered domestic seating, and contracts are needed for waste delivered by the public, commercial traders, waste collection authorities, suppliers acting on their behalf and charities. The DPS is split into three lots: Lot 1 – Hazardous waste and/or waste that could contain items with high levels of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) including items such as automotive batteries, oil, chemicals, paint, gas cylinders, fire extinguishers, printer cartridges and plasterboard; Lot 2 – Reusable and recyclable waste including soft plastics, glass, non‑ferrous metal and textiles; Lot 3 – Bulky waste items to be diverted from landfill including mattresses, carpet and hard/rigid plastics. The estimated value is circa £3,000,000 over the life of the DPS, which could increase to circa £5,000,000 under unexpected demand; these figures are estimates provided in good faith and without commitment.
