II.1.4) Short description
The Cambridgeshire Waste Collection Authorities (“the Authorities”) collect dry mixed recycling from domestic and commercial premises across Cambridgeshire. This tender is for the transportation/receipt, sorting and onward sale/re-processing of commingled dry recyclable materials.
The RECAP Councils have worked collaboratively for many years in the delivery of DMR across Cambridgeshire. That collaboration continues for this procurement. The procurement itself is being conducted as a single procurement, but with the award of contract being in the form of separate Lots, as described in more detail in the ITT. The Lots are presented as alternative Lots (by reference to size), to enable the Councils to seek the broadest possible market response. This means that an award will not be made for every Lot. This is described in more detail in ‘Lotting Guidance’ of the ITT.
The RECAP Councils will make the decision collectively as to which Lots to award and to which bidders. Following award, the ensuing contracts will either be concluded with an individual Council or a number of them, depending upon which Lots have been chosen as the best value for money.
Notwithstanding, the separate Contracts, the Councils are committed to sharing the per tonne costs equally across Cambridgeshire and to manage the contracts on a collective basis. They have committed to concluding an Inter Authority Agreement (IAA) to facilitate this arrangement. The joint contract management arrangements will be reflected in each of the contracts, but otherwise, the IAA not be affect the contractual position of each successful bidder, whose rights and obligations will be governed solely by the Contract it has with the individual Council or number of Councils, as the case may be
The number and size of the Lots has been determined to enable the Authorities to receive the maximum number of responses from the market taking account of the size of the different Lots and the needs of the different Authorities. Contractors should note that the Lots are presented in varied Lot Sizes which are to ensure processing capacity is secured for all RECAP Partners. The dry mixed recyclables will come from any one of the district and unitary authorities within the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough area. This may mean that certain Lots will not have an award of contract made in respect of them, because better value alternatives exist in the award of alternative Lots. As a result, we would request that contractors bid for as many lots as they are interested in whilst also sharing the maximum capacity available at your MRF.
For the avoidance of doubt, bids are welcome from contractors who can provide one or more processing sites with capacity and can collect from transfer facilities expected to be within a 10 mile radius of each local authority in this procurement. These transfer locations are the subject of a separate procurement. There is a map in Appendix 5 showing the location of the depots. As such the Authorities welcome bids for any one or more or all the Lots available. Contractors are not limited in the number of Lots they are able to bid for, although the Authorities will carry out the assessment of Contractors’ financial standing and technical ability by reference to the number of Lots bid for and which meet the Authorities selection criteria to enable a contract to be awarded in accordance with the provisions of the ITT.

VI.4.3) Review procedure
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures
The Authorities will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar days standstill period at the point
information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. The duration of this standstill will be disclosed at this point.
This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the Contracting Authorities before the contract is entered into. Such additional information should be required from (Refer to address in Part 1.1). If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (Chapter 6) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland).
Any such action must be brought promptly. Where a contract has not been entered into the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may order the ineffectiveness of a contract where serious breach have occurred in addition to any fine, the Court may instead provide for alternative penalties, either contract shortening, fines or both.
Please ensure that you read the tender documents carefully in order to be aware of the requirements and relevant deadlines. The Councils reserve the right to award all, part or none of the business forming the subject matter of this procurement and to abandon, halt, pause, or postpone this procurement at any time. Under no circumstances will the Councils incur any liability (including, but not limited to, liability as to costs) in respect of this procurement exercise, the abandonment of the same, or any documentation issued as part of this procurement exercise.
