two.2.4) Description of the procurement
This Prior Information Notice (PIN) relates to the Pre-Tender Market Engagement for the Secure Destruction and Disposal of Confidential Waste for bulk volumes of paper waste on a monthly basis from Newcastle upon Tyne plus potential additional ad hoc requirements of bulk paper waste throughout the rest of the NHSBSA's UK estate.The anticipated core requirement will be to securely destroy and dispose (recycle) paper copies of prescriptions forms from our secure warehouse in Newcastle upon Tyne. There will be approximately 80 pallets of records to be destroyed each month with an anticipated volume of 55,000kg per month. From market research it is envisaged that this volume and frequency of wastepaper has the potential to generate a revenue in the paper recycling market and the NHSBSA anticipates that it will receive a portion of this revenue from the provider who can destroy and dispose of the waste.The NHSBSA is a Special Health Authority and an Arm's Length Body of the Department of Health. It provides a range of critical central services to NHS organisations, NHS contractors, patients and the public.
