Refuse and Recycling Products Including Wheeled Bins
Introduction
The Refuse and Recycling Products Including Wheeled Bins framework, managed by ESPO, is designed to streamline the procurement of essential waste management products and services for public sector organisations. Running until 31 January 2025, this framework offers a structured and efficient purchasing route for a range of refuse and recycling products. It is categorised under 'Facilities & Estates' and provides a comprehensive solution for entities seeking to manage waste effectively and sustainably without the need for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS).
Context & Use Case
This framework is primarily utilised by local authorities, educational institutions, and other public sector bodies looking for reliable and cost-efficient solutions in waste management. It supports these organisations in meeting their waste management obligations while promoting environmental sustainability. Given the increasing focus on effective waste management practices, contracting authorities employ this framework to ensure they have access to high-quality refuse and recycling products that align with regulatory standards. By facilitating easier procurement processes, this framework assists public entities in maintaining clean and sustainable environments.
Scope of Services
The framework encompasses a wide array of refuse and recycling products suitable for various waste management needs. These include: 1. Wheeled bins in multiple capacities to accommodate different waste volumes. 2. Kerbside recycling boxes and bags designed for easy collection and sorting. 3. Food waste containers for both domestic and commercial use. 4. Compostable liners to encourage eco-friendly waste disposal practices. 5. Plastic refuse sacks available in various sizes and strengths. 6. Waste housing units for secure waste storage. 7. Compost bins to support organic waste recycling initiatives. Additionally, the framework provides services related to the maintenance of these containers, ensuring longevity and adherence to hygiene standards.
Who Can Apply
This framework is open to suppliers who specialise in the production and distribution of waste management products. Suitable candidates typically include manufacturers and distributors of bins, sacks, and other refuse products, as well as companies offering maintenance services for these items. As this is not a DPS, suppliers must apply within specific timeframes and meet the outlined criteria to be considered for inclusion.
Buyer Benefits
Public sector buyers benefit significantly from the ESPO framework due to its compliance with procurement regulations, ensuring a transparent and fair purchasing process. It offers a streamlined route to market, reducing the time and effort required to procure waste management products and services. The competitive nature of the framework guarantees value for money, while the wide range of products available meets diverse operational needs. Additionally, buyers can be confident in the quality and sustainability of the products sourced through this framework, aligning with environmental policies and targets.
