Description
This procurement covers the provision of recycling and residual waste collection services, together with the secure destruction of confidential wastepaper, where instructed, from Shropshire Council owned and/or operated properties across the county of Shropshire.
The fundamental objective of the procurement will be to secure a reliable, efficient, and compliant waste management service capable of meeting the diverse operational needs of the Council鈥檚 estate. This includes the consistent delivery of recycling services, the lawful collection and disposal of residual waste, and the secure handling and destruction of confidential wastepaper, as required.
Through the delivery of this requirement the Council places a strong emphasis on adherence to the waste hierarchy, prioritising waste prevention, reuse, and recycling above treatment and disposal. Contractors are therefore expected to support the Council鈥檚 wider environmental, sustainability, and resource-efficiency objectives, and to work collaboratively with the Council to maximise recycling performance and reduce waste arisings wherever practicable.
The contract resulting from this procurement will play a key role in maintaining Shropshire鈥檚 public spaces as clean, safe, and welcoming environments, supporting the Council鈥檚 long-term sustainability and environmental objectives.
The Council鈥檚 expectation is that a longer-term, single supplier contract will provide greater value for money for the council in terms of financial efficiencies, but also staff resourcing, consistency of service provision. The Council envisage that this, in turn, will create the conditions for the contract鈥檚 outcomes to align with wider Council sustainability, social, and environmental objectives.

The Council require that the Contractor will be responsible for ensuring that all services are delivered in a manner that prevents harm to human health and the environment for the full duration of the contract, including during collection, transportation, treatment, and final disposal.
