This tender is to establish a Contract for services to collect, transport and dispose of wastes
from human and/or animal healthcare and/or related research.
The objectives of the Contract are to:
• Provide a compliant, resilient, efficient, and cost-effective service , undertaking, and
managing the safe collection, handling, transport, and disposal of segregated wastes from
University sites to the point of final disposal.
• Achieve zero to landfill on all waste streams, including treated and non-hazardous waste.

Waste Hierarchy.
• Provide monthly accurate University specific data on waste weights, uplifts, categories,
transport miles, treatment type and associated CO2 equivalent emissions.

reduce waste and improve segregation.
• Seek to continually improve the service delivered and develop sustainable waste
minimisation, reuse, and recycling opportunities wherever possible.
• Maintain and continually demonstrate full compliance with all regulatory requirements and

Providers may tender for more than one Lot:
• Lot 1 - Hazardous healthcare and related research wastes requiring treatment prior to
disposal (AT) or High Temperature Incineration (HTI)
• Lot 2 - Non-Hazardous Healthcare and Related Research Wastes (appropriate for e.g.,
municipal waste to energy disposal
• Lot 3 – Chemically Contaminated Laboratory Waste from Research and Teaching
Contracts will be awarded for a period of 3 years (36 months) with an option for a further
two, one-year (12 month) extensions at the agreement of both parties.
