The Client recently received significant funding via the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) to upgrade its Building Management Systems (BMS) at its property.

This project is currently ongoing and is estimated to be completed sometime during the 2nd half of 2024.

In addition, it has recently decided to create an in-house BMS team of two engineers and one engineering manager.

The Client therefore requires a Contractor to provide reliable support whilst the in-house team gets up to speed. In addition, there will be a significant requirement to carry out work that the in-house team does not have the capacity to carry out on an ongoing basis.

The existing BMS is composed of both Trend and Schneider systems. As a result the Client requires a Contractor to be approved to work on and experienced in working on both systems.

Any values or quantities quoted in these documents are given in good faith as a representation of past purchasing and current planning to assist you in submitting your offer. Therefore, should not be construed as an undertaking on behalf of the Client to infer, promise or guarantee the levels of work to be made available via the contract. The nature of the work, particularly unplanned reactive work, may result in expenditure exceeding the values quoted in the contract notice and the associated procurement documents. Therefore, the actual values may increase or decrease over the life of the contract dependant on grants, budgets, circumstances and requirements. Additional information: Award criteria

While the funding envelope set by the Commissioners and Welsh Government is unknown in future years providers may be able to (pending funding) source additional resources.
The Specification sets out the required outputs of the services and the Alliance Objectives. It is anticipated that the Council may require additional services from the Provider Participants throughout the duration of the Alliance Agreement that align with the Alliance Principles. Such changes will be required to account for the fluctuating demands of the service and the changing needs of the service users or changes to funding or policy decisions. Further details are set out in the Specification and the draft Alliance Agreement.

The Western Bay Area Planning Board is a collaboration of partners who come together at a regional level to enable the planning, commissioning and delivery of substance use services. Members include Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council (procurement lead), Swansea City and County Council, Swansea Bay University Health Board, His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service Wales, Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales, South Wales Police and Mid & West Wales Fire & Rescue.
The Western Bay Area Planning Board is seeking to work collaboratively with a partnership of providers to form an Alliance and radically transform drug and alcohol clinical and support services across Swansea and Neath Port Talbot for all people of all ages.
Request to participate are invited from providers that mirror our commitment to prevention and early intervention, as well as to leading the way with clinical interventions and rapid access to prescribing for people. Our services will need to be based on collaborative working, championing people’s voices, and co-design and co-production. We want to hear from forward-looking providers, be they statutory, community and voluntary sector or private sector. We are especially interested in user led and community-based organisations, and we are keen to hear from any groups of providers who can demonstrate to us that they are committed to improving the lives and experiences of people.
We are looking for a group of providers who can work together to provide joined-up services for people. They will take responsibility for creating, leading and co-ordinating the collaboration of partners and the ways of working together in the future.
We know that we need different skills and ideas and would like to make as much local impact as possible through this alliance to support our local economy and supply chains. We value diversity and expect providers will be a mix of large and small organisations, some or all ideally with a local presence in and knowledge of Swansea and Neath Port Talbot.
Neath Port Talbot Council as lead anticipate that each Provider Group will be made up of a number of Provider Participants, each individually providing its expertise in contributing to the delivery of the Alliance Objectives.  For the avoidance of any doubt, the Council only require the Provider Group to be formed for the purposes of this procurement process to demonstrate collaborative working and that as a combined group it can provide the required coverage of services.
If a Provider Group is identified as a Successful Tenderer, the expectation is that each individual Provider Participant will individually enter into the Alliance Agreement. This approach is central to vision of the Alliance to foster a true collaboration of individual organisations.
There may be TUPE implications.
The intended procurement procedure is analogous to a competitive dialogue procedure but in accordance with the light touch regime classification for these services the contracting authority is not bound by this and reserves the right to vary or amend the process at any time.
We expect the contract will commence from Nov 2025.
The Alliance Agreement will be for a maximum of 10 years consisting of an initial period of 3 years (with an option to extend for a further period(s) of up to 3+3+1 years). It should be noted that the term of the Alliance Agreement is subject to the Alliance securing its Funding on an annual basis) and the terms and conditions of the Alliance Agreement, which allows for the early termination of the Alliance Agreement if the Funding cannot be secured at the annual review.
The estimated contract value identified at section II.1.5 is not guaranteed and is subject to securing funding on an annual basis. Additional information: The provider group shall demonstrate how they will work with Swansea Bay University HB and other contracted providers of clinical services and with two Local Authorities for elements of social care provision. The clinical and social care elements are NOT in scope for this tender, but details are provided for information purposes to aid providers approach in working with these partners.

title: Treatment & Disposal of Residual Waste

title: Treatment & Disposal of Residual Waste

description:
To accept and treat residual municipal waste collected by the Authority including (without limitation) kerbside collected, bulky waste, household waste recycling centre waste, fly-tipping and persistent organic pollutants.
To operate Brackmills Waste Transfer Station as a Delivery Point for residual waste, and to arrange for the haulage of waste from Brackmills and two other Delivery Points within West Northamptonshire to the treatment destinations.  The location of delivery points may change during the term.
The contract is an exclusive arrangement for all in scope contract waste subject to certain rights of the Authority and exclusions under the contract (including relating to performance).  No guarantee is given on tonnage or composition.
At contract notice and considering the existing service scope, options to expand service scope and the maximum term, the Authority estimated a total valuation at £162,000,000 with an estimated average spend per annum over the full term of approximately £10,000,000 (not to be taken as the budget for year 1 of delivery). The estimated annual spend was based on forecast tonnages and estimated gate fees. The actual spend will be dependent on tendered gate fees, inflation and actual tonnages
The contract will have a term of fifteen (15) years from 1 April 2025 with an Authority only break option at the end of year 10.

description: The Authority intends to invite six (6) bidders to the dialogue stage.  The bidders invited will be those who have passed all Pass/Fail elements of the SQ and are the highest scoring bidders in respect of the scored questions further detailed in the SQ.  The SQ details the rules that will apply in the event that there are bidders on tied scores - these rules may result in more than six (6) bidders being taken forward - and in the event that there are fewer than six (6) bidders meeting the Authority's requirements.

description:
To manage the household waste recycling centre (HWRC) services, currently provided at 6 locations within West Northamptonshire, and arrange for the treatment of waste collected from the sites, with the exception of residual waste which will be treated under a separate contract.  The services also include maximising the capture and resale of reusable materials collected at the HWRCs and via the bulky kerbside service.  The Authority reserved the right to remove the reuse element during the procurement but did not exercise this right.
Not guarantee is given on tonnage or composition.
At contract notice and considering the existing service scope, options to expand service scope and the maximum term, the Authority estimated a total valuation of £75,000,000 with an estimated average spend per annum over the full term of £5,000,000 (not to be taken as the budget for year 1 of delivery).  At contract award, as noted above it is not possible to give a fixed contract value but the award is within scope of the estimated value of the procurement.
The contract will have a term of fifteen (15) years from 1 April 2025 with an Authority only break option at the end of year 10.

description: The Authority intends to invite four (4) bidders to the dialogue stage.  The bidders invited will be those who have passed all Pass/Fail elements of the SQ and are the highest scoring bidders in respect of the scored questions further detailed in the SQ.  The SQ details the rules that will apply in the event that there are bidders on tied scores - these rules may result in more than four (4) bidders being taken forward - and in the event that there are fewer than four (4) bidders meeting the Authority's requirements.

description: As noted above, the Authority will have a break option

description:
Lot 3 has been included as an optional Lot to enable a bidder to identify the financial saving or discount that would apply if they are awarded both services.  It is not intended as an option for providing a combined service and the Authority would still award two separate contracts.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Authority has not designed this procurement with the intention that the same bidder must be successful for both services.
Bidders should note that they may submit for one or both of Lots 1 and 2.  A bidder may only submit for Lot 3 where they have submitted for Lot 1 and Lot 2 or they have submitted for only one of Lot 1 or Lot 2 but are submitting a joint bid for Lot 3 with another bidder who has bid for the other of Lot 1/Lot 2.
Further detail on the approach to managing the Lots during the procurement process is set out in the procurement documents.  Final award will be made in accordance with the award criteria and evaluation approach set out in the procurement documents.  If Lot 3 is awarded, then Lots 1 and 2 will not be awarded (and vice versa).
The service scope for Lot 3 is as detailed for Lots 1 and 2 above.
Considering the existing service scope of the procurement, the options to expand service scope and the maximum term, the Authority has estimated the total procurement valuation to be:
Lot 3: Treatment & Disposal of Residual Waste and Operation of Household Waste Recycling Centres - £237,000,000 (being the combined value of Lots 1 and 2).
From that total valuation the estimated average spend per annum over the full term is approximately:
Lot 3: Treatment & Disposal of Residual Waste and Operation of Household Waste Recycling Centres - £15,000,000
(note: the average spend in the above paragraph should not be taken as the budget value for year 1 of delivery)
All values exclude VAT and indexation.
The contract will have a term of fifteen (15) years from 1 April 2025 with an Authority only break option at the end of year 10.

description: The Authority intends to invite only potential bidders who have qualified for both Lot 1 and Lot 2 and who have also submitted a Lot 3 request to participate to the dialogue stage for Lot 3.  Lot 3 potential bidders will pre-qualify for this Lot 3 on the basis that they have pre-qualified for each of Lot 1 and Lot 2.  The SQ further details the rules that will apply here.  These may result in more than four (4) potential bidders being taken forward where this is the outcome of Lot 1 and Lot 2 shortlisting and as a result of any consortium or joint venture proposals.

West Northamptonshire Council (the "Authority) sought one or more suitably qualified and experienced suppliers to deliver the following services: Treatment & Disposal of Residual Waste; and Management of Household Waste Recycling Centre Services.
The scope of the services was further detailed in the procurement documents made available on the publication of the contract notice and these procurement documents were further refined during the procurement process.
The scope of the services may change during the life of the eventual contracts.  Where the nature of any change was known to the Authority then this was detailed in the procurement documents.
The procurement was undertaken using the competitive dialogue procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
The procurement was divided into three (3) Lots:
Lot 1: Treatment & Disposal of Residual Waste ("Residual Service");
Lot 2: Management of Household Waste Recycling Centre Services ("HWRC Service"); and
Lot 3: Treatment & Disposal of Residual Waste and; Management of Household Waste Recycling Centre Services.
A separate contract was to be entered into for each of the Residual Service and HWRC Service, even if the same bidder was appointed to both services.
Lot 3 was included as an optional Lot to enable a bidder to identify the financial saving or discount that would apply if they were awarded both services.  It was not an option for a combined service and if awarded would still have resulted in two separate contracts.
Bidders were able to submit a tender for one or both of Lot 1 and Lot 2.  Bidders could only submit for Lot 3 where they submitted for Lot 1 and Lot 2 or where they submitted for only one of Lot 1 or Lot 2 but submitted a joint bid for Lot 3 with another bidder who has bid for the other of Lot 1/Lot 2.
The procurement documents set out the approach to managing the Lots with final award to be made in accordance with the award criteria.  If Lot 3 was awarded, then Lots 1 and 2 would not be awarded (and vice versa).
By applying the award criteria, the Authority awarded Lots 1 and 2.  Lot 3 was abandoned at award stage with no award made.
The figures included for overall and Lot specific values of the procurement correspondence to the original estimated values contained within the contract notice.  The contracts for each of Lot 1 and Lot 2 contain a mix of fixed and variable sums payable and so it is not possible to include a fixed value of the contracts.  The variable elements relate to tonnages of relevant contract waste and no guarantee is given on volume or composition.
As per the contract notice, the values stated in this notice exclude VAT and indexation.

reviewDetails:
The Authority observed a standstill period in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 following notification of intention to award.
The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 sets out the remedies regime applicable to this procurement and applicable timescales.
