For specific note, the Document 1 sets out the following: Please refer to Document 5 - Schedule 5 Service Specification, paragraph 5.5, which states that each Waste Producer is assigned a tier: Tier 1: Defined/Active Waste Producers Active Waste Producers are defined as Waste Producers which form the majority of the Service Requirements, and the core group of Waste Producers receiving Services. The Supplier will be required to provide Services to all Active Waste Producers from the Services Commencement Date.

Tier 2: Defined/Pending Waste Producers “Pending Waste Producers” are defined as Waste Producers which can be defined/detailed but are not Active Waste Producers on the Services Commencement Date because they have other existing arrangements in place. It is intended that these Waste Producers will become Active Waste Producers following during the Term in accordance with Document 5 – Specification and or Document 6 – the Contract.

The Service Requirements of Tier 2 Waste Producers will not form part of the Services until such time as the Authority notifies the Supplier that a Tier 2 Waste Producer is Active. Once a Tier 2 is designated by the Authority an Active Waste Producer, their Service Requirements shall form part of the Services.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Change Control Process is required where a Tier 2 Waste Producer becomes Active and such change is solely at the discretion of the Authority.
