The resulting contracts will be for an initial 8 year term following which, the Contract will include options for extending the provisions for up to further 96 months with a maximum contract duration of 16 years.

A previous Contracts Finder publication, advertising this procurement opportunity was originally published on the 28th November 2019 with the title 'WDC - Waste, street and grounds maintenance services for Warwick district'.

The Procurement followed the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation to source the most suitable solution for the Council. Shortlisted bidders were invited to submit initial tenders. The Council reserved the right to award the contract on the basis of the initial tenders without conducting negotiations. The Council reserved the right to run successive stages of negotiation and further shortlist participating bidder at each stage. The Council informed participating bidders when it wished to receive final offers.

The 'Estimated Lot value' provided in this notice is a potential total value for the entire 16 year term. The Street Cleansing Lot estimated a total value of £45,000,000 and the Ground Maintenance Lot estimated a total value of £25,000,000

This is seen as a long term working arrangement to benefit all involved and the successful suppliers will be expected to work with the Council to ensure all requirements can be fulfilled in a combined and organised manner.
