Cheshire East Borough Council, England, has identified an opportunity to expand its current household organic waste collection service to include food waste which could be co-mingled into the existing fortnightly garden waste collection.

The inclusion of food waste within the garden waste stream would therefore require a technology capable of treating co-mingled organic waste to a standard compliant with the animal by products regulations (ABPR) to enable its recycling.

The Council are therefore open to consideration of technologies which are capable of recycling co-mingled garden and food waste which may include, although are not limited to:

• Anaerobic digestion (high or low solids); and
• In-vessel composting.

Two lots are therefore presented to the market within this procurement in recognition of this market dynamic. The anticipated duration of the contract will be for a period of 17 years ( 1.4.2017 - 31.3.2034) and the value attributed to the individual Lots will be:

• Lot 1 £19.3 million (US$27.5 million).
• Lot 2 £19.3 million (US$27.5 million).

The first lot will be procured through the Design, Build, Finance and Operate (DBFO) mode.

The anticipated duration of the contract will be for a period of 17 years (1.4.2017 - 31.3.2034) and the value attributed to Lot 1 will be 19 300 000 GBP.

The deadline to submit proposals is June 26th.
