Description

GMCA is seeking to procure the arrangements for the treatment of co-mingled food and ‘green’ garden Biowaste from 2026. The scope of this procurement is to appoint a multi-supplier Framework of suitable organisations that operate in-vessel composting plants, and any other suitable biowaste treatment facilities, which are competent and accredited to provide biowaste treatment services in line with the Authority’s requirements. The establishment of the Framework will enable the Authority to secure treatment capacity for the treatment of c.130,000 tonnes annually of Biowaste arising ("Contract Waste") through a series of Call-Off Contracts, in smaller packages, that shall be awarded following a mini-tender with providers appointed to the Framework

Total Quantity or Scope

A multi-supplier Framework is being created by the Authority following recent market testing activity which has identified that no single supplier alone has the capability to meet the Authority’s requirements. The minimum number of suppliers that will be appointed as Framework Contractors is two in line with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The maximum number of suppliers that shall be appointed to the Framework will be determined by cumulative tonnage capacity of appointed Framework Contractors. Following the outcome of Tender evaluations, the most economically advantageous operators shall be appointed to the Framework in order of their ranking until the point at which the defined (permitted) capacity requirement is exceeded. Further details on this approach will be set out in the ITT.
