two.2.4) Description of the procurement

Conwy County Borough Council awarded the contract on 01/07/2021 and will finish 31/06/2023. Conwy County Borough Council wished to arrange a contract for the treatment of the collected green waste material to BSI PAS100:2011 specification and the Quality Compost Protocol (2012).

The Authority proposed to enter into Contract for a period of 1 year with the option to extend for a further 6 months and then again by a further 6 months with the successful Contractor(s) (Service Provider).

As only PAS100 certified material is authorised for reporting towards Local Authority Statutory Recycling Targets as outlined in The Waste (Wales) Measure 2010, the requirement for PAS100 certification was evaluated as Pass/Fail.

The overall composting requirement was anticipated to be around 8,000 tonnes per annum (but no guaranteed minimum tonnage will apply).

The anticipated contract commencement date was 01/07/2021.

Conwy County Borough Council (CCBC) is located in North Wales, is 1,130 square kilometres in size and has a population of approximately 116,000 people.

CCBC is a unitary authority responsible for making collections of household waste arisings and ensuring the safe and proper disposal of all wastes collected.

Green Waste Kerbside Collection from households is around 7,000 tonnes per annum.

In April 2020, the Council introduced an annual subscription charge for the collection of garden waste from households in the county. Collections were made through a third party contractor who operate a fortnightly garden waste collection service throughout the Conwy County Borough area. Garden waste was collected from households in 240L brown wheeled bins.

The service ran throughout the year but there is a significant seasonal decrease in the amount of material collected during November to February.

Household Waste Recycling Centers (HWRC) (~ 1,200 tonnes per annum)

The Authority operates two recycling centers in the County where the general public can deposit household green waste into skips.

Parks and Garden Waste (~ 600 tonnes per annum)

The Authority’s in-house workforce is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the Authority’s various parks and gardens. The green waste generated included grass cuttings from highway verges etc.

The Contractor was required to deal with the Green Waste in accordance with all relevant legislation and guidelines and any instructions issued by the Authority and / or Natural Resources Wales.

No haulage services were required as part of this Contract as the Council delivered the garden waste directly to the delivery point and / or facility via a third party contractor.

Delivery of the material was through direct delivery using standard refuse collection vehicles, or via skips, walking floor trailers or other authorised vehicles.
