Third-Party Bulk Haulage of Non-Hazardous Waste

Yorwaste Ltd is a waste management and recycling company operating in North Yorkshire. The company is wholly owned by North Yorkshire Council and City of York Council and operates at arm’s length from its shareholders.

Yorwaste employs over 280 members of the local community, manages over half a million tonnes of waste per year and carries out 550,000 trade waste and commercial bin collections across North Yorkshire.

The company is seeking to procure bulk haulage services for the transportation of non-hazardous waste from its transfer stations located in the North Yorkshire to a network of designated delivery points.

The services are critical to the ongoing operation of Yorwaste’s waste management infrastructure.

The current contracts are due to expire on 31 March 2027. This procurement is being undertaken in advance to ensure continuity of service.

Waste streams include, but are not limited to, those listed below:

• Mixed municipal waste (also referred to as ‘Black Bag’)
• Bulky waste including POPs
• Glass, Plastics and cans
• Paper and card
• Green waste, wood and compost

The procurement will be divided into geographically defined lots aligned with current operating areas:

Lot 1: Seamer Carr and Whitby

Lot 2: Kirby Misperton

Lot 3: Halton East

The primary disposal facility is Allerton Waste Recovery Park (“AWRP“), supported by a network of contingency disposal sites. Successful suppliers will be required to service all identified locations as required.

Suppliers are invited to submit Tenders for any one Lot, any combination of Lots, or all Lots.

Each lot will be evaluated independently and awarded on the basis of the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT).

The Company intends to award a Contract for each Lot for an initial period of two (2) years with the option, at the Company’s sole discretion, to extend for a further two (2) and one (1) years (total 2+2-1).

The Company gives no warranty or guarantees as to the accuracy or level of volumes, and no minimum or maximum volumes are committed.

Further details of the technical requirements, performance standards, and pricing mechanisms will be set out in the procurement documents.
