Decision details

In October 2017 the County Council entered into a contract with Biffa Waste Services Limited to process and recycle street sweepings.

The contract allows the County Council to divert street sweepings from landfill and push the material further up the waste hierarchy to recycle 99% of the material. This has saved the Council around £2.6m over the life of the current contract to-date due to a significantly lower price per tonne for processing compared to other disposal routes. 

The initial three-year processing contract has already been extended to its maximum term of five years and will end on 1 October 2022.

The Assistant Director of Environment and Public Protection will undertake the procurement process for the provision of street sweepings processing services (reception into facility, recycling, treatment and disposal). Upon the conclusion of that process, the Assistant Director will be asked to award the contract based on the most advantageous bid after technical and financial evaluation.

The Assistant Director (Environment and Public Protection) has awarded the new Street Sweepings Processing Contract to Biffa Services Limited for a four (4) year period commencing on 1 October 2022, with the ability to extend by up to an additional two (2) year period at a total estimated value of £1,448,000.
