Published requirement description

The scope is a national framework agreement for the collection and disposal of non-clinical (domestic) recyclates and

general waste from NHS Health board sites across Scotland (with the exception of NHS Shetland, NHS Orkney and NHS

Western Isles)in 8 bundles. Bundle 1 comprises 7 waste streams and candidates must be able to provide all 7 streams:

residual waste, DMR, glass, plastics, cardboard, paper, metal (cans). Bundle 2 is for confidential waste. Bundle 3 is for

food waste. Bundle 4 is for batteries. Bundle 5 is for fluorescent tubes. Bundle 6 is for bulky waste. Bundle 7 is for

furniture. Note that the requirement for containers for waste applies only to those containers provided by the contractors as

part of the waste service rather than for separate purchase. Candidates will indicate which lots they are interested in. The

NHSS has waste targets which are required by the Scottish Government and the contractor must provide services to assist

the NHSS in meeting these targets. The contractor will be required to provide containers and other waste equipment to the

NHSS Health Board as required to store the waste prior to collection.

Published justification

Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee.

Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances:

The additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the Covid-19 pandemic (and recovery of services) to maintain necessary supply and remove unnecessary disruption from the Authority at this time in line with Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

The priorities for NSS, NHS Scotland and likely those suppliers who would wish to be part of a tender process (due to severe market conditions) have changed, as a result it is a necessary step to delay start of new tender process necessitating a 12 month extension to current framework revising expiry to September 2023.

Review and risk notes
Review procedure

Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:

Economic operators should approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the

courts:

An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts

(Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of

Session.

Publisher note: Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract): The change to this contract is an additional 12 month extension. All terms & conditions of contract remain in place. (SC Ref:707314)
