II CONTRACT FOR THE TREATMENT OF MIXED METALS AND COLLECTION AND TREATMENT OF LEAD ACID BATTERIES

There was submitted Agenda Note AN7-2021, wherein it was noted that following the expiration of the existing contract for the collection and treatment of mixed scrap metal, it was necessary to undertake a procurement exercise to secure a contractor to accept this material from March, 2021.

The invitation to tender for this service was issued by way of a mini competition via the Scotland Excel Dynamic Purchasing System Relating to the Treatment and Disposal of Recyclable and Residual Waste: Lot 7 Treatment of Mixed Scrap Metal, on the 4th December, 2020. Following the tender closing date of 18th December, 2020, only one bid was received from the current provider of the service, and following the subsequent evaluation of the bid, it was recommended that the contract be awarded to:-

Robertson Metals Recycling Ltd, Stannergate Road, Dundee, DD1 3LU

The bid was evaluated on a rebate per tonne, based on the mid-point of the Materials Recycling Weekly (MRW) value for mixed scrap metals for the financial year 2019/2020. The bid included the direct delivery of scrap metals by Council staff from Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) and special collection activities to the bidders premises, and collection of lead acid batteries from HWRCs by the bidder. The total value of the contract for the duration of the two year specified period plus the optional two-year extension was anticipated to result in an income of approximately 150,404.

The Committee agreed to accept the offer as detailed.
