Description

South Oxfordshire District Council and Vale of White Horse District Council (the Councils) are seeking to appoint a contractor to provide refuse collection and waste related services (including, residual waste, dry recyclables, green waste, food waste, clinical waste and bulky waste services) along with a broad portfolio of street cleansing services in order to achieve cross-border efficiencies. The successful contractor will be required to deliver the services as set out in the Councils' specification. The Councils will make available their existing fleets of vehicles and containers to the successful contractor required to deliver the services. The appointed contractor will not be required to fund the purchase or secure the acquisition of any major plant necessary to deliver the services but nay have to arrange short term substitute vehicles whilst routine maintenance and servicing is undertaken. The intention is for the Councils to establish a new depot at OX44 where the fleet can be operated from. However, there is the possibility for the depot to be located elsewhere within the South Oxfordshire/Vale of White Horse area and further details on this is set out in the procurement documents. The Councils are not requiring the contractor to provide its own depot and/or fleet and/or containers in order to deliver the services.
