MBC - Invitation to Tender For the provision of Commercial Waste Services

In response to the recent introduction of the Simpler Recycling 2025 legislation, Maidstone Borough Council (MBC) conducted a comprehensive review of its waste collection and disposal arrangements. This assessment underscored the necessity for appointing a qualified service provider who can support the Council’s evolving waste management strategy, particularly in enhancing recycling rates across its operational estate and reducing Scope 3 emissions associated with staff and leisure facilities. As such, MBC has been assessing the Council’s waste output on a monthly basis, generating internal and external actions to assess weights and volumes of general waste versus recycling streams. Tenderers are expected to offer this service in the form of a report, alongside general key performance indicators.It should be noted that certain locations are excluded from this contract, including parks, public litter collections, industrial units, and properties under full leasehold arrangements.The Council’s current waste management contract is due to expire in February 2026. MBC is therefore seeking to procure a long-term solution through this tender process, with the objective of ensuring a seamless transition and continuity of service, without any interruption to collections. Furthermore, MBC will be undertaking a significant refurbishment of its main office premises- Maidstone House and The Link (MBC01)- in spring 2026, which will involve a phased programme of floor closures between May- December 2026 (final dates subject to final programme by Main Contractor). It is imperative that prospective suppliers demonstrate flexibility and adaptability in service delivery throughout the contract term, as the Council reserves the right to amend the scope of services in response to operational requirements. Such amendments may include, but are not limited to, changes in:1.Frequency of waste collection services2.Number of waste containers provided3.Container sizes4.Types of waste streams collected5.Addition or removal of sites under the contractFor more information about this opportunity, please visit the Delta eSourcing portal at: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-Maidstone:-Transport-services-%28excl.-Waste-transport%29./96W849PD68To respond to this opportunity, please click here: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/96W849PD68
