24020 RECAP Dry Mixed Recyclate Bulking

- 90000000 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services
two.1.3) Type of contract

two.1.4) Short description
The Cambridgeshire Waste Collection Authorities collect dry mixed recycling from domestic and commercial premises across Cambridgeshire. This tender is to provide suitably located and permitted transfer stations for accepting the delivery, weighing, storage and bulking for onward transport, of this mixed dry recycling. The onward transport is an element of a separate procurement. This transport will be coordinated such that materials are moved from each transfer site at a suitable frequency.
The RECAP Councils have worked collaboratively for many years in the delivery of DMR across Cambridgeshire. That collaboration continues for this procurement. The procurement itself is being conducted as a single procurement, but with the award of contract being in the form of separate Lots, as described in more detail in this ITT. The Lots are presented as alternative Lots (by reference to size), to enable the Councils to seek the broadest possible market response. This means that an award will not be made for every Lot. This is described in more detail in ‘Lotting Guidance’ within the ITT.
The RECAP Councils will make the decision collectively as to which Lots to award and to which bidders. Following award, the ensuing contracts will either be concluded with an individual Council or a number of them, depending upon which Lots have been chosen as the best value for money.
Notwithstanding, the separate Contracts, the Councils are committed to sharing the per tonne costs equally across Cambridgeshire and to manage the contracts on a collective basis. They have committed to concluding an Inter Authority Agreement (IAA) to facilitate this arrangement. The joint contract management arrangements will be reflected in each of the contracts, but otherwise, the IAA not be affect the contractual position of each successful bidder, whose rights and obligations will be governed solely by the Contract it has with the individual Council or number of Councils, as the case may be
The Authorities look to secure this Bulking Service in a set of individual locations across Cambridgeshire with suitable proximity to existing collections and/or depots with the aim of reducing unnecessary travel.
For the avoidance of doubt, bids are welcome from contractors who can provide one or more sites with capacity in any one or more of the geographical areas identified in the specification. As such the Authorities welcome bids for any one or more or all the lots available.
The Authority have invested in an e-tendering tool in order to facilitate its tendering processes in a compliant and transparent manner. Potential Providers will need to register an account via the "Procontract Portal" at https://procontract.due-north.com/Register before being able to view the full tender details.
In order to access the tender documentation, click "Find Opportunities", then on the drop-down menu, filter by "Cambridgeshire Public Services" by clicking on "Update" to find the relevant opportunity or alternatively within the organisations drop down select Cambridgeshire County Council to also find the relevant opportunity.

Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures
The Authorities will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar days standstill period at the point
information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. The duration of this standstill will be disclosed at this point.
This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the Contracting Authorities before the contract is entered into. Such additional information should be required from (Refer to address in Part 1.1). If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (Chapter 6) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland).
Any such action must be brought promptly. Where a contract has not been entered into the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may order the ineffectiveness of a contract where serious breach have occurred in addition to any fine, the Court may instead provide for alternative penalties, either contract shortening, fines or both.
Please ensure that you read the tender documents carefully in order to be aware of the requirements and relevant deadlines. The Councils reserves the right to award all, part or none of the business forming the subject matter of this procurement and to abandon, halt, pause, or postpone this procurement at any time. Under no circumstances will the Councils incur any liability (including, but not limited to, liability as to costs) in respect of this procurement exercise, the abandonment of the same, or any documentation issued as part of this procurement exercise.
