New to public tenders? Plain-English guide to this page
- 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
The Authority has recently secured additional floor space within the Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) following the relocation of the confidential paper shredding operation to another area of the depot. This additional space presents an opportunity to redesign and optimise the existing MRF layout to improve operational performance and future-proof the facility.
The Authority is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced Tenderer to undertake the design, supply, installation, commissioning, and testing of a redesigned materials recycling line incorporating both the existing and newly available floor areas.
The redesigned solution shall aim to:
• Improve operational efficiency and throughput.
• Enhance health, safety, and welfare standards.
• Increase automation and reduce manual handling where practicable.
• Reduce contamination levels within material streams.
• Improve the quality and value of recovered materials.
• Provide flexibility to accommodate future changes in recycling materials and processing requirements.
The scope of works shall include, but not be limited to:
• Assessment of the existing MRF operation and site constraints.
• Design of a new MRF layout and processing line.
• Removal and disposal, or relocation where applicable, of existing MRF equipment.
• Supply of all new equipment required for the proposed solution.
• Integration of both existing and new equipment into the redesigned processing line.
• Installation, commissioning, performance testing, and handover of the complete system.
• Provision of operator training and relevant documentation.
• Provision of warranties for all new equipment supplied under the Contract.
• Provision of ongoing maintenance and support services, including details of response times and planned preventative maintenance arrangements.
The Tenderer shall demonstrate that the proposed solution represents best value for money and is capable of delivering a safe, efficient, reliable, and future-ready recycling operation throughout the contract term.
