Please see "Competitive flexible procedure description" section of this tender notice and the procurement documents for full details of:

1 - the competitive flexible procedure that ELWA is conducting pursuant to s. 20 of the Procurement Act 2023; and

2 - ELWA's requirements for the RHRRC Contract.

(Defined terms used in the above list of services are detailed in the draft contract and procurement documents.)

The estimated Contract Value of £466,000,000 is based on ELWA's estimate at the date of notice publication and include extension of the contract for five years following expiry of the initial ten years and three months service delivery term. The estimated value also includes works required pursuant to the contract in addition to any additional works or services which may be required during the initial ten years and three months service delivery period. Therefore, the estimated value is not necessarily the final value of the contract and ELWA reserves the right to vary this contract value (either higher or lower) in the event the scope of the contract varies throughout its term. It is intended as a guide to bidders and the actual value is intended to cover delivery of ELWA's requirements over the full possible term.

ELWA is currently undertaking a separate procurement for a Residual Waste Contract (Reference: 2024/S 000-020012 and Procurement Identifier: ocds-h6vhtk-03f9d7). As this procurement is not yet complete, the outcome will influence the range and value of services of this RHRRC Contract/procurement.

Additionally, ELWA will be undertaking re-procurement of several other waste contracts in the next two years (in relation to garden waste, food waste and dry recycling) which will influence the range and value of services of this RHRRC Contract/procurement. Those contracts will also be re-procured during the term of this RHRRC Contract.
