Clinical waste services to the Northern Clinical waste Consortia and associate members

Descriptions

This process relates to the present contract set to expire in September 2015 for the provision of clinical waste services to a number of NHS trusts comprising the Northern Clinical Waste Consortia (NCWC). A number of new organisations as listed will also be partcipating within this project. The NOE CPC is running this exercise on behalf of the Northern Clinical Waste Consortia to help secure best value in connection with the supply of these services.The NCWC and NOE CPC is seeking innovative service solutions which will best meet the participating organisations business needs with regards to these Clinical Waste Services. These solutions could consist of a single prime contractor for supply and/or management of all the service components but the NCWC has an open mind as to the commercial arrangement below this level. Should a Potential Provider wish to outsource some of the Clinical Waste Services to a third party then NCWC and NOE CPC would find this acceptable as long as the lead Contractor was responsible for achieving the performance standards and required outcomes.It is anticipated that the there will be a single overarching contract with the contractor signed individually or jointly by the participating organisations.
