Issue details
Re-procurement for the provision of Clinical Waste Services
In January 2015, the Council entered into a
4-year Framework Agreement with Medisort Ltd for the provision of Clinical Waste
Services. The Council utilised this agreement for treatment and
disposal of clinical waste collected by the District and Borough
Councils in West Sussex. The initial term of the call off contract
was for three years and included an option to extend up to a
maximum of an additional 2 years. It has currently been extended to
31 March 2019.
Since it commenced, the Framework Agreement has also been utilised by four of the West Sussex District and Borough Councils for their clinical collection and support service arrangements. This agreement has proved an efficient vehicle for procuring a joint service for collection and disposal of a waste service that requires specialist handling and treatment.
The County Council considered the procurement options for the continuation of this service for the residents of West Sussex. A joint collection and disposal contract will continue to provide efficiencies in service delivery and operations as well as a single point of contact for those residents who require this service.
