- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
Stage 1 – Review of Existing Evidence • Review existing waste planning evidence, national guidance and relevant legislation. • Review current Cornwall waste policies and any relevant neighbouring Waste Planning Authority evidence. • Agree methodology, assumptions, datasets and forecasting approach with Cornwall Council. Stage 2 – Assessment of Existing Waste Management Capacity Prepare an assessment of existing waste management capacity across Cornwall including: • Current operational waste management facilities. • Existing Waste Planning Permissions. • Environmental Permits/Waste Management Licences. • Annual throughput using the Environment Agency Waste Data Interrogator. • Survey and verification of operational waste sites. • Existing treatment capacity by waste stream and facility type. • Analysis of operational constraints where relevant. Stage 3 – Assessment of Future Waste Arisings Prepare forecasts of future waste arisings throughout the Local Plan period including: • Local Authority Collected Waste. • Commercial and Industrial Waste. • Construction, Demolition and Excavation Waste. • Hazardous Waste (where appropriate). • Other relevant waste streams such as wastewater, agricultural waste, low level radioactive waste, clinical waste Forecasts should consider: • Population growth. • Housing and employment growth. • Economic forecasts. • Historic waste trends. • Recycling and composting targets. • National policy objectives. • Waste reduction initiatives and changes in waste composition. Stage 4 – Assessment of Additional Waste Management Capacity Requirements Using the findings of the previous assessments, identify: • Existing capacity available throughout the plan period. • Forecast demand for each waste stream. • Capacity surpluses and deficits. • The quantity and type of additional waste management capacity required. • The broad timing of additional provision. • Any implications for future waste site allocations or safeguarding policies. The assessment should clearly identify where sufficient capacity exists and where additional facilities may be required to meet future needs. A Cross Boundary Waste Movements paper A separate technical paper should assess: • Current waste imports and exports between Cornwall and neighbouring Waste Planning Authorities. • Waste arisings within neighbouring authority areas where relevant. • Nationally significant waste management requirements. • Existing and future cross-boundary waste movements. • Whether existing or planned facilities are capable of continuing to accommodate these movements.
