II.3)Information on framework agreement
II.4)Short description of nature and quantity or value of supplies or services:
Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (the "Trust") would like to undertake a market consultation exercise, to consider the options available, from which a procurement strategy can be developed, in relation to the provision of a waste management service.
The Trust is looking for innovative solutions to facilitate waste management and is open to suggestions to how best optimise their waste management requirements.
The Trust expects that any resulting service will encompass some or all of the following waste streams:
- General;
- Recycled;
- Offensive;
- Hazardous (non-healthcare);
- Confidential(including Hard Drive/Removable media);
- WEEE (including IT waste);
- Furniture.
The Trust's initial expectations from any resulting procurement exercise include the following:
- a positive impact on the Trust's cost base;
- a shift from current practice to a total waste management basis;
- minimising, as far as is practicable, carbon emissions and improving the Trust's sustainability credentials;
- reduction in the amount of waste sent to landfill;
- improvements in waste segregation;
- introduction of sustainable systems to reduce waste production on site;
- Trustwide waste audit and monitoring systems;
- measurable KPIs and methods of measurement for improvement and incentivised cost savings;
- Bespoke management information via a central reporting system;
- information and awareness to staff in best practice waste management principles;
- continuous supplier innovation and future proofing.
It is anticipated that any resulting service would be implemented across the Trust's existing sites listed below:
- North Tyneside General Hospital, Rake Lane, North Shields, Tyne & Wear, NE29 8NH
- Ash Court, North Tyneside General Hospital, Rake Lane, North Shields, Tyne & Wear, NE29 8NH
- Wansbeck General Hospital, Woodhorn Lane, Ashington, NE63 9JJ
- Hexham General Hospital, Corbridge Road, Hexham, Northumberland NE46 1QJ
- Alnwick Infirmary, Infirmary Drive, Alnwick, Northumberland, NE66 2N
- Berwick Infirmary, Infirmary Square, Berwick upon Tweed, Northumberland, TD15 1LT
- Blyth Community Hospital, Thoroton Street, Blyth, Northumberland, NE24 1DX
- Morpeth Cottage Hospital, South Road, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE61 2BT
- Rothbury Community Hospital, Whitten Bank Road, Rothbury, Northumberland NE65 7RW
- Tynemouth Court, Hawkeys Lane, North Shields, Tyne and Wear NE29 0PQ
- Haltwhistle War Memorial Hospital, West Gate, Haltwhistle, Northumberland, NE49 9AJ
- Cobalt Conference Centre, Northumbria House, 7-8 Silver Fox Way, Cobalt Business Park. North Shields, Tyne and Wear, NE27 0QJ.
In addition it is envisaged the service would be implemented at our new Specialist Emergency Care Hospital and, following the acquisition of, North Cumbria University Hospital NHS Trust, West Cumberland Hospital.
The Trust reserves the right to amend the sites requiring the service both during the tender exercise and during any term of any subsequent Contract.
Estimated cost excluding VAT:
Range: between 2 000 000 and 6 000 000 GBP
