Warwickshire County Council (the Council) was seeking a Supplier who could provide containers, along with a haulage and reprocessing service for Wood Waste from specified Warwickshire Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs).

Please note while the value (II.1.7) has been stated at £2 million this is an anticipated figure to allow for peaks in volumes of tonnage and other factors. We estimate the actual value over the 7 year period to be closer to £1.5 million based on historical values and tonnages.

It is the responsibility of Warwickshire County Council, as the Waste Disposal Authority to provide HWRCs for members of the public. The Waste Collection Authorities in Warwickshire are as follows: Warwick District Council, Stratford-on-Avon District Council, North Warwickshire Borough Council, Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, Rugby Borough Council.

The waste from the HWRCs needs to be managed safely and in line with the waste hierarchy. The Council manages 8 of its HWRCs in-house and must have contracts in place for the reuse, recycling, recovery or disposal of waste materials brought to the site by the public or traders. One of the waste materials the Council needs to have a contract for is Wood Waste. In 2022/23 the amount of Wood Waste arising from all 9 Warwickshire HWRCs was approximately 8,000 tonnes (approximately 6,500 tonnes was from 8 of the Warwickshire operated HWRCs and approximately 1,500 was from Judkins HWRC). Wood Waste arising from Judkins HWRC located in Nuneaton, is operated by FCC Environment Limited ("FCC") and the reprocessing may or may not be included in the contract at the discretion of FCC and consent of the Council. If it is included, they do not require the provision of containers or haulage.
