Description

The Authority requires a service for the Secure Bulk Destruction & Disposal of Confidential Waste. Waste products for destruction include NHS prescriptions and patient medical records as well as waste cardboard. Due to the value that this wastepaper can attract within the paper pulp and paper recycling market, it is expected that the Authority may be able to generate revenue from this contract. The existing contract expires on 31st July 2026. The Authority requires a new contract to commence from 1st August 2026. The contract will be for a period of four years, with a mechanism to extend for an additional two years at the discretion of the Authority. The procurement will be conducted in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 regulations. Please note that the 'Total Contract Value (Estimated)' is for a revenue rather than a cost to the Authority and is for the maximum contract term of 6 years.
