    "description": "ELWA is procuring a contract for the provision of the following services (without limitation):\n\u2022\tWaste transfer services, including the receipt, handling, bulking, transfer and haulage of Contract Waste, including any internal movements between Authority Sites;\n\u2022\tOperation and maintenance of the Authority WTS (located at Frog Island and Jenkins Lane), to provide reception, storage and bulking of Contract Waste delivered by the Constituent Councils; \n\u2022\tOperation and maintenance of the RRCs (located at Jenkins Lane, Chigwell Road, Frizlands Lane and Gerpins Lane);\n\u2022\tThe operation and maintenance of a Circular Economy Hub to prepare and sell items suitable for Reuse;\n\u2022\tOnward haulage of Contact Waste from the Authority Sites to Authority Contracted Sites for the treatment of Residual Waste, Dry Recycling, Garden Waste and Food Waste;\n\u2022\tOnward haulage and Treatment of RHRRC Contractor Retained Waste;\n\u2022\tRepair, preparation, Recycling and Reuse of Mixed Residual Waste;\n\u2022\tManagement and operation of the Bring Bank Sites (provisional service);\n\u2022\tProvision of waste education and promotional services;\n\u2022\tManagement of Waste Containing Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) (provisional service); and\n\u2022\tSite improvement and rectification works.\nPlease see \"Competitive flexible procedure description\" section of this tender notice and the procurement documents for full details of:\n1 - the competitive flexible procedure that ELWA is conducting pursuant to s. 20 of the Procurement Act 2023; and\n2 - ELWA\u0027s requirements for the RHRRC Contract.\n(Defined terms used in the above list of services are detailed in the draft contract and procurement documents.)\nThe estimated Contract Value of \u00a3466,000,000 is based on ELWA\u0027s estimate at the date of notice publication and include extension of the contract for five years following expiry of the initial ten years and three months service delivery term. The estimated value also includes works required pursuant to the contract in addition to any additional works or services which may be required during the initial ten years and three months service delivery period. Therefore, the estimated value is not necessarily the final value of the contract and ELWA reserves the right to vary this contract value (either higher or lower) in the event the scope of the contract varies throughout its term. It is intended as a guide to bidders and the actual value is intended to cover delivery of ELWA\u0027s requirements over the full possible term.\nELWA is currently undertaking a separate procurement for a Residual Waste Contract (Reference: 2024/S 000-020012 and Procurement Identifier: ocds-h6vhtk-03f9d7). As this procurement is not yet complete, the outcome will influence the range and value of services of this RHRRC Contract/procurement.\nAdditionally, ELWA will be undertaking re-procurement of several other waste contracts in the next two years (in relation to garden waste, food waste and dry recycling) which will influence the range and value of services of this RHRRC Contract/procurement. Those contracts will also be re-procured during the term of this RHRRC Contract.",
