II.2.4) Description of the procurement

To process human anatomical waste that is collected in various sized, approved "single use" red lidded rigid waste containers. Typical contents will be body parts (large and small), organs, full blood and plasma bags. There will be the occasional requirement to dispose of animal body parts arising from medical training practices.

To process cytotoxic and cytostatic waste which is collected via purple coloured (soft) waste bags and various sized, purple lidded approved, single use sharps containers. Typical contents will include medicines, sharps, creams, tablets and associated material contamination (soft waste) through the delivery of cytotoxic and cytostatic drugs. It is anticipated the majority of this waste stream will transfer over to using reusable containers.

To process pharmaceutical waste (liquid and solid) which is collected in various sized, approved "single use" rigid waste containers. Typical contents will include medicines, controlled drugs and their associated, contaminated packaging conforming to EWC 18 01 09. There will exist no contamination from cytotoxic or cytostatic processes. It is anticipated the majority of this waste stream will transfer over to using reusable containers.

Although the Trust currently uses various sized single use hard burn bins for all sharps and pharmaceutical waste disposal, the Trust now wishes to move to using re-usable sharps & pharmaceutical waste containers where practicably possible. We encourage the supply of reusable containers to capture recyclable waste from theatres etc., such as single use devices, stainless steel tools and associated metal equipment for recycling.

To process sharps waste currently collected in approved orange lidded, yellow bodied, various sized, single use sharps containers. Typical waste contents will include sharps, including blades, scalpels, scissors etc., that may be contaminated with blood residues only, along with fixed or attached associated materials (handles, syringes etc.) generated mainly from Phlebotomy services, Outpatients, Theatres etc., conforming to EWC 18 01 01. There will exist no contamination from medicines, cytotoxic or cytostatic processes. It is anticipated the majority of this waste stream will transfer over to using reusable containers.

To process sharps waste currently collected in yellow lidded, yellow bodied, various sized, approved, single use sharps containers. Typical waste contents will include sharps contaminated with residues of administered drugs, along with associated material contamination (syringes) conforming to EWC 18 01 01 and 18 01 09. There exists no contamination from cytotoxic or cytostatic processes. It is anticipated the majority of this waste stream will transfer over to using reusable containers.
