The ITT issued by the Council in connection with a competitive procurement being conducted in accordance with the Regulations.
The Council invited Tenders from suitably qualified and experienced economic operators ‘Bidders’ for the provision of routine inspection, maintenance, and repairs of roll on/roll off containers and compactors.
The ITT set out the information which was required by the Council to assess the suitability of Bidders' experience, organisational and financial standing to meet the ITT requirement. In addition to this, quality, social value, and pricing proposals were also assessed before the contract award was made.
There are currently in the region of 90 No. containers in use at the Premises.
There are three types of container deployed by the Council as listed below:-
• 8 no 31 m3 tapered compaction containers (suitable for cardboard compaction)
• 58 no 27 m3 open top containers
• 24 no 27 m3 compactors
All containers have been recently inspected, fully serviced and maintained and should only require general preventative maintenance and occasional repairs as and when required. The minimum routine servicing schedule has been provided in Annexe 1. We are currently in the process of replacing approximately 70 skip containers which should only require greasing and minimal repair in the first few years.
There are currently 23 Gradall compactors in use at the Premises, 3 G140s, 3 G120s and 17 G90s with the G90s due to be replaced over the next two years to Numac NS 60s, 80s and 100s.
All compactors have recently been inspected, fully serviced and all necessary repairs carried out and should only require general preventative maintenance and occasional repairs as and when required. The minimum routine servicing schedule has been provided in Annexe 2. This is just a guideline, the Contractor must ensure the necessary inspections and servicing is carried out so that all compactors are running safely and efficiently.
The Council reserves the right to increase or decrease the number of containers/compactors or Premises to be serviced as part of the Contract.
