The brief

Wigan Council is seeking a suitably qualified Provider to manage the Haulage and Treatment of waste Domestic Mixed Recyclable (DMR) collected at the Kerbside by Wigan's in-house collection team.

The DMR waste includes metal packaging (steel tins, aluminium cans, aerosols, foil, biscuit tins), glass bottles and jars, and plastic packaging (plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays).

The contract length is two years, with an option to extend by two further periods of two years each.

It will involve the collection of approximately 18,000 tonnes of DMR per annum from Wigan's Waste Transfer Station located in Makerfield Way, and the Provider will be required to move approximately 80-90 tonnes (4-5 articulated vehicles) per day.

The waste will need to be delivered to the Provider's own facility, where it will need to be separated into separate products that can meet the necessary standard for sale to the recycling industry.

The contractor will be required to actively manage the haulage, report monthly data, provide contingency options and deliver social value.
