Textiles from 6 recycling stations

contract notice

Closed

Background The waste management company for Drammensregionen IKS (RfD) receives increasing quantities of textiles at its recycling stations. At the same time the market for sorting and further handling textiles is changing, with varying capacity, requirements and price level. In order to ensure predictable operation and good use of resources, RfD needs a robust, long-term and traceable system for handling textiles. The procurement is being carried out in order to safeguard RfD ́s responsibility in accordance with the Waste Regulations § 10a-4 letter f), and to contribute to the textiles as far as possible going to reuse and recycling. The need for documentation and control in the value chain is sharpened, and RfD would like a system that provides a better overview of fractions and treatment routes, as well as reduces the risk of undesired handling and a lack of traceability. Furthermore, there is a need for reliable collection at the recycling stations, including handling variations and periods with peak load, so that the reception systems are not crowded and that the public experiences an available and orderly tender offer. Description of the assignment RfD shall enter into an agreement with one tenderer for the collection, sorting and further handling of textiles from six recycling stations. The estimated annual volume is approx. 500 tonnes, with expected variations throughout the year. The assignment includes logistics from the recycling stations to the tenderer ́s reception, as well as sorting and distribution to further treatment systems. The delivery shall support high operational security, including ability to handle peak loads and contribute to the prevention of crowded collection systems, for example through planning based on data on the filling degree. The textiles shall be handled in accordance with the waste hierarchy, with the aim that as much as possible go into reuse, then material recovery and any energy recovery. Tenderers shall submit relevant documentation on the route of treatment and amounts, as well as ensure traceability and seriousness in the entire value chain, including any sub-suppliers and recipients. RfD provides communication with households for the delivery of textiles. Sub-contracts We follow the Norwegian Environment Agency ́s municipal supervisor on sorting. It says that "The textiles can be source sorted into three streams". We therefore have 3 sub-contracts. Tenderers can participate in only re-use or textile waste or "wet and dirty". Tenderers can participate in one, two or all three. The price or "not participating" shall be completed in the price form. The evaluation of sub-contracts will be based on the same award criteria independent of sub-contract, with the exception of price. All criteria connected to the environment and quality are general and independent of fraction. The contracting authority will assess whether sub-contracts will be signed or not.
