360 litre bins are necessary to provide to households across the county who produce larger amounts of recycling than the standard 240 litre bins can accommodate.

In accordance with the councils procurement guidance for a medium value product, 3 quotes were requested from wheeled bin suppliers for the following:

Two full load of green 360 litre bins

All bins to be embossed on the front of the bin and on the lid

Bins to be independently certified to the following standards: EN840-1:2012, 5:2012 and 6:2012. RAL-GZ 951/1

Full off-loading service required from the delivery vehicle onto the ground & moved into a specified area at the depot.

10 year warranty and agreement of reimbursement of removal fee incurred by council if bin found to be faulty.

Only one compliant bid was received. The compliant bid met all elements of the requested specification and is therefore recommended for acceptance.

Purchase of two full loads of 360 litre green bins from SSI Schaefer Ltd at a cost of £24,544 to be delivered within 4 weeks and fully off loaded at FCC depot in order to provide greater recycling bin capacity to households across the county upon request.

3 quotes were requested for the supply of a full load of bins to allow each company to provide their best quote.

1 company did not submit a quote.

1 quote was rejected as non-compliant because they didn’t meet the minimum requirements.

Do nothing but this was rejected because it would result in more waste ending up being disposed of at greater cost.
