title: Electricity generation from landfill gas and landfill gas management

description: For the purpose of this requirement, Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council, is acting as procurement lead on behalf of Silent Valley Waste Services Ltd.Silent Valley Waste Services (The Company) is seeking to appoint a contractor who specialises in the generation of electricity from landfill gas and landfill gas management.Silent Valley Landfill Site is located on the outskirts of Ebbw Vale town in the County Borough of Blaenau Gwent, South East Wales. Capping and restoration of the landfill body was completed in September 2015.The site has been successfully generating electricity from landfill gas from 2003 to date and it produced 3,325 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity during the last full calendar year ended 31 December 2021, based on a 1,000-kilowatt gas engine that is currently installed.The electricity generation activities is currently being managed by a third party contractor, whose lease of the premises will expire on 11th December 2022, after which date the company will continue generating electricity for commercial exploitation.An independent review carried out on behalf of the company has estimated that the site will continue to produce electricity from landfill gas until December 2040, based on an expected rate of landfill gas decline of 8% per year.Therefore, the company is seeking to appoint a third-party contractor to continue managing the electricity generation activities under its direct supervision and control from 12th December 2022 until 31 December 2040.Suppliers are invited to register their expression of interest in the contract via the Council's E-tendering portal which can located at https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk.Your expression should include details of your company along with a summary of your experience in operating and managing similar landfill gas generation projects.Deadline for expressions of interest is 12:00 noon Wednesday 16th November 2022

rationale: Background and Full DescriptionSilent Valley Landfill Site was closed and ceased to receive waste in August 2011.An extensive Programme of Works comprising capping and restoration of the landfill body was completed in September 2015, thereby achieving Definitive Closure status allowing the Site to officially enter the Aftercare Phase.The Site was developed in two phases. The initial Phase 1 landfill was operated by Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council (BGCBC) between 1981 and 1994. Records indicate 2 million tonnes of waste was disposed during this period.The second phase of filling known as Phase 1A, which was essentially a vertical extension of the Phase 1 landfill, was operated by the Council’s waste management company, Silent Valley Waste Services Ltd (SVWS) from 1994 to Closure in 2011. During this period the Site received approximately 2 million tonnes of municipal, commercial and industrial wastes, along with small quantities of Special Waste namely bonded asbestos and palm oil, over an area of approximately 15 hectares.The Site continues to function as a waste management facility currently, with operation of an adjacent Waste Transfer Station, which receives and processes the Council’s waste and kerbside recycling collections, as well as providing office accommodation for SVWS.A landfill gas extraction system targeting the Phase 1A landfill only, and a gas engine generator(s) have been active at the Site since 2003. This entire arrangement has been operated under a Lease Agreement with a landfill gas Contractor to generate electricity for commercial exploitation.The Lease for the current gas generation operation will terminate on 11th December 2022, and thereafter SVWS will continue the generation of electricity from landfill gas extraction under their direct control from this date.Under the Landfill Directive, SVWS has an ongoing duty to manage any landfill gas produced and to generate electricity where practicable.An independent review has been undertaken of the landfill gas project on behalf of the SVWS, which estimated that it will be commercially viable to generate electricity from landfill gas until December 2040. It is also estimated that with careful site management, Silent Valley Landfill Site should achieve a net export of 500 kW in 2023, declining at 8% a year thereon.The proposed duration of the new Contract is therefore, 12th December 2022 to 31st December 2040, and to this end, SVWS is now inviting expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced Contractors who will under Contract:- Supply, install, commission and maintain a gas engine generator at Silent Valley Landfill Site together with such plant, apparatus and associated equipment that is necessary for the generation of electricity and the commercial exploitation of the electricity so generated. It will be vitally important that the Tenderer specifies the correct size engine to optimally match the volume of landfill gas being produced, and in turn avoid the over-extraction of gas which could harm the long-term efficiency and total amount of electricity that can be produced by the project.- Arrange connection of the supplied gas engine generator to the export cable, and the existing gas extraction system at Silent Valley Landfill Site comprising gas wells, gas well heads, valves, manifolds, condensate knockout pots, flare stack and ancillary pipework.- Manage, maintain and service the gas engine generator and gas extraction system, to ensure operations comply at all times with the Conditions of the Environmental Permit.- Manage and control day to day operations to ensure compliance at all times with the Environmental Permit, under the ultimate supervision and control of SVWS.- Produce and deliver a programme of maintenance for the gas engine generator and the gas extraction system, including balancing of the landfill gas field, condensate management, servicing of the flare, etc.- Attend monthly operational meetings with SVWS.- Attend meetings with the Regulatory Authorities as requested, and represent at all times the best interests of SVWS in all communications with the Regulatory Authorities.- Prepare any landfill gas generation related report / data return, required under the Environmental Permit and submit on behalf of SVWS to Regulator, ensuring any deadline as may be stipulated or imposed therein is met in good time.- Respond in writing to the Regulator on behalf of SVWS in respect of any query posed.It is suggested that Tenderers’ proposals include installing of a refurbished or used gas engine generator, to take advantage of its previous accreditation in order to avoid costly and time-consuming electricity network re-commissioning works, due to newly introduced network commissioning rules applicable to new gas engines.Prospective Tenderers will also be required to demonstrate or provide, to the satisfaction of SVWS:- A proven ability to successfully operate and manage landfill gas projects of a similar size to Silent Valley Landfill, in particular a proven ability to operate and manage the project at a sub 500kW and sub 300kW level.- Detailed examples of past operational and efficiency performance in generating electricity at other landfill sites under the Tenderer’s management, and also provide contact details for any of their existing landfill partners from whom SVWS may obtain references.- A proposed strategy for successfully managing the landfill gas at Silent Valley to ensure its continued economic viability, including proposals and timescales for any future downsizing of the gas engine generator and any planned capital expenditure.- An estimate of the income and running costs that the Contractor would expect to achieve for the forecasted level of electricity production (to be provided).- The ability, resources and availability to meet the demands and logistics of managing the landfill gas project at Silent Valley from 12 December 2022 to 31 December 2040. Including details of individuals with a proven track record and experience in landfill gas management and operations.- Access to accurate landfill gas resource modelling software to periodically analyse and estimate the quantity of the landfill gas that exists at Silent Valley Landfill Site, and the quantity of landfill gas that can be ultimately captured and converted to electricity.- Commitment to proactively assisting SVWS to develop a collaborative and productive relationship with the Regulatory Authorities.- Commitment to focusing on the 'health' of the gas field to ensure maximum sustainability and longevity of the Project.- Details of any gas treatment opportunities to remove for example, silicon compounds or other significant contaminants in the gas fuel feed, which could have a negative impact on engine performance.- Details of any other proposals to improve gas field yield, improve engine efficiency, reduce maintenance and associated downtime or any other means to achieve an overall uplift in generated output.LocationSilent Valley Landfill Site is located on the outskirts of Ebbw Vale town in the County Borough of Blaenau Gwent, South East Wales.The Site is situated in the Merddog Valley on the east flanks of Cefn-y-Areal, above an elevation of 350m AOD and some 1.2 km to the east of the nearest community the village of Waunlwyd, (NGR 31900 20600).The Site is near the top of the valley which can be described as "blind" and isolated. An area of beechwood, known as Cwm Merddog lies immediately to the east and to the south of the site. This beechwood is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and forms the highest collection of Beech trees in Great Britain.HistoryThe area has been extensively mined for coal. A number of coal mining adits are known to have been worked within the Merddog valley itself.The Site was originally used as a disposal facility as early as the 1930s, when steel slag a by-product of the nearby steel making process at Ebbw Vale, was disposed in the valley floor. Records indicate that this practice continued up until 1980, in tandem with a steel slag recovery operation which began circa 1960 removing millions of tonnes of steel slag up until the later 1970s.Phase 1 LandfillOwnership of the site passed from British Steel to Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council (BGCBC) in 1981. The latter acquired the site to develop the Phase 1 landfill in the valley to receive municipal waste which was placed on the remaining underlying steel slag.The Council operated the landfill site until 1994 when waste disposal operations were transferred to the Council’s Waste Management Company Silent Valley Waste Services Ltd (SVWS).Phase 1A LandfillThe Company operated the Phase 1A landfill under Waste Management License; this phase of filling was essentially a vertical extension of the Phase 1 landfill previously operated by BGCBC, occupying a footprint of approximately 15ha receiving approximately 2 million tonnes of waste during this time, which mainly comprised municipal, commercial and industrial waste streams with a void space created from both landfill and land raise operations.The Company operated the site on commercial basis not only continuing to receive BGCBC’s municipal waste but also attracting waste inputs from the Commercial and Industrial Sectors. Special Wastes, namely palm oil and asbestos were co-disposed in the landfill during this period the site however, reverted to a non-hazardous disposal facility on successfully applying for a Permit to continue waste disposal operations in 2005.Commercial extraction of landfill gas focused explicitly on the Phase 1A filling area of approximately 15ha, the landfill gas field comprisesThe Phase 1A operations was closed and ceased to receive waste in August 2011. An extensive programme of capping and restoration was completed in November 2015 allowing definitive closure to be granted by the Regulator with the site then entering the aftercare phase.Landfill Gas Generation ProjectA Lease for the current Landfill Gas Generation Project was granted to the incumbent gas generation Contractor in 2002, this Lease will terminate on 11th December 2022. The compound used by the current Contractor for the operation of the gas utilisation plant will therefore become a vacant possession.The ProcessThis sourcing/ EOI exercise is being run by the Authority's e-tendering portal Bravo Solutions https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk.The E-tender references for this project are: Project_51699 and PQQ_33361.Your expression should include details of your company along with a summary of your experience in operating and managing similar landfill gas generation projects.Deadline for registering EOI's is 12:00 noon the 16th November 2022 with clarifications allowed until 5:00pm on the 10th November 2022.(WA Ref:126088)

title: Pre-Market Engagement Process Associated with Waste Collection Services

description: This Speculative Notice is a Pre-Market Engagement exercise issued by Bridgend County Borough Council (BCBC) in order to encourage businesses to register and bid for the provision of Waste Collection Services to Bridgend County Borough Council (Bridgend CBC), “The Authority”. Where it is intended to advertise the requirement on Sell2Wales under the “Open” Procedure as described in the Public Contracts Regulations (PCR) – 2015 (Regulation 27 refers). See attached Briefing Document for full details.Since 1st April 2017 the Authority has been in a Seven-year contract with Kier Environmental Services Ltd for the provision of all household waste and recycling collection services, along with the management of its three Community Recycling Centres (CRCs). The incumbent contractor has informed BCBC that they intend moving out of this industry and will not be taking up the available contract extension once the current contract Term is complete on 31st March 2024. The Authority is now planning for the service provision post 31st March 2024.BCBC intend to conduct a Tender with the intention of awarding a Two (2) year contract from 1st April 2024, with the option of extending for a further Two (2) years on an annual basis.The Authority in ideal circumstances would have as a preference engaged the existing contractor, in an extension of the current waste contract from 1st April 2024. Without any changes to the current service or vehicles. This desire to not change anything significantly at this point it time, despite the end of the contract approaching is driven by; Changing environmental legislation meaning that uncertainty exists with regard to future recycling targes that will have to be achieved. As a result, the service configuration that will be required to achieve those future targets is also uncertain.This is therefore an inappropriate time to put in place a long-term contract as it would be difficult to specify the needed service. Also, the future need to have ultra-low emission vehicles in line with the Welsh Government 2030 carbon neutral objectives. Also mean that now is not an ideal time to start a new contact with a new fleet of vehicles, as at present low carbon refuse and recycling vehicles are financially cost prohibitive and very much part of a developing marketplace. See attached Briefing Document for full details.BCBC is aware that a short-term duration contract may not be particularly attractive to bidders and in in order to reduce risk to the bidders in an attempt to offset the risk of having no bids due to a two-year contract being unattractive. The Authority have taken several steps to reduce contract risk compared to the current model, thereby improving contract attractiveness. See attached Briefing Document for full details.Service Providers are encouraged to ask any clarification questions on the forthcoming Tender by using the Q&A facility on this portal. BCBC will respond to all questions and intends to publish an anonymised version of the Q&A with the Invitation to Tender.It is intended to keep the Speculative Notice open for 2-weeks to receive and respond to any clarifications submitted by any interested parties. The Speculative Notice will therefore close on 18th November 2022.See attached Briefing Document for full details.NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Sell2Wales Web Site at https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=126179.

Approach
 We are seeking an experienced supplier to undertake a discovery exercise to inform an approach and plan for deliberative engagement with the public about the use of health and social care data.
 a.	Discovery
 - Requirements gathering from key stakeholder groups and project sponsors (Including the National Data Resource and Data Promise working group).
 - Looking at existing work that has already occurred on engagement with the public about the use of data (UK and international).
 - Understanding potential issues that are unique to Wales, including the needs and challenges of engaging with particular groups of people.
 - Agreeing goals, scope and objectives.
 - Developing specific use cases into engagement exercises.
 - Present recommendations and a plan for public engagement, including whether events will be held in person or on-line.
 The financial pressures on public services following Covid-19 are well known. These pressures present some uncertainty with respect to budgets for data projects in health and social care.
 Suppliers should therefore present a range of options in the discovery report for our deliberative engagement approach. These options should include a variety of methods for delivering the objectives of this work as well as value for money.
 Options should be presented with the respective pros and cons of each approach outlined along with cost and project duration. Suppliers should provide at least two options within the budget range of GBP 75,000 to GBP 250,000.
 A break-clause will be in effect at this stage which would allow the supplier or Social Care Wales not to proceed to the next phase of work should they choose.
 b.	Delivering deliberative engagement events
 - Development and refinement of the questions for a deliberative engagement process, recognising the existing legislative arrangements around data
 - Design and delivery of the engagement events, including:
 ~ Sampling, recruitment and support of citizens, with attention to sel-dom-listened-to and hard to reach groups, including but not limited to those with protected characteristics
 ~ Identification of suitable expert witnesses with support from Social Care Wales, NHS Wales, Welsh Government and their partners
 ~ Detailed reporting and outputs to inform decisions on data sharing and infor-mation governance in Wales
 Depending on the preferences of the citizens, the supplier should be ready to conduct the engagement events in both Welsh and English, using simultaneous translation. All outputs, data collection, and project communications must be made available in both Welsh and English, in accordance with the standards outlined in Section 5.1.
 The cost for translation and quality assurance of the translation should be included within the price schedule and the potential supplier must set out how this requirement will be met. The supplier will have a good understanding of the requirement to provide bilingual services and will either offer the in-house capability to deliver such a service or have in place a service level agreement with a sub-contractor to support its delivery of bilingual services. A list of translators who are members of the Association of Welsh Translators and Interpreters is available at: https://www.cyfieithwyr.cymru/en/find-a-translator-interpreter.
 The supplier should ensure that the Welsh language version is treated no less favourably than the English and is fully fit for purpose and ready for publication.
 We expect the supplier to take a collaborative approach to both stages, working with our partner organisations across Wales. Adopting meaningful co-production and co-design approaches should form part of the preparation for this work. We are committed to improving equality, diversity and inclusivity in all our work and will expect this priority to inform the make-up of participants in the engagement exercises.. Phase 1 – Discovery: GBP 25,000
 Phase 2 – Design and delivery: up to GBP 250,000
 - Discovery report to be delivered by early February 2023
 - Design and Delivery phase to commence in February 2023 with all engagement exercises to have concluded by July 2023 and final products delivered by 31 October 2023.

title: Developing and delivering a deliberative approach to public engagement and participation on data usage in health and care in Wales

description:
Underpinning our work around data is the priority we place on discussion with the public about how and why we use data about them for different purposes. This is a core principle of the Statement of Strategic Intent. The need for good public engagement around data sharing has also been emphasised in the recent report on the use of health data for research, Better, broader, safer: using health data for research and analysis. We know this is a key element of building public trust and demonstrating that the organisations who use health and social care data are trustworthy.
 To support this engagement we are seeking an experienced and expert supplier to work with Social Care Wales and their partners in developing and delivering a deliberative approach to engaging with the people of Wales about the use of health and social care data.
 Aims and objectives
 The aim of this project is to launch our public engagement work around the sharing of health and social care data to support direct care, analysis for service improvement, and research. This work will help us identify how the public views the balance between privacy and using health and social care data for different purposes. It will allow us to identify what we can do to demonstrate trustworthiness.
 We have included a discovery phase in this project because we recognise the need for expert help to define a clear scope, purpose and approach for our deliberative engagement work.
 We will use the outputs and learning to support Welsh Government’s Data Promise project and inform the development of further ‘data policy’.
 Outputs
 We require:
 - a discovery report, setting out the options for the engagement approach
 - a detailed report on the findings and recommendations from the engagement
 - an executive summary of up to 10 pages
 - a repository of the engagement design documentation, materials and outputs to maximise the transparency of the process.

Any such action must be brought promptly (generally within 30 days). Where a contract has not been entered into, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the Council to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may, depending on the circumstances, award damages, make a declaration of ineffectiveness, order the Council to pay a civil financial penalty, and/or order that the duration of the contract be shortened. If a declaration of ineffectiveness is sought, any such action must be brought within 30 days where the Council has communicated the award of the contract and a summary of reasons to tenderers, or otherwise within 6 months. The purpose of the standstill period referred to above is to allow the parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before the contract is entered into.
