SOUTH TYNESIDE COUNCIL WASTE MATERIAL STREAMS & ADDITIONAL WASTE SERVICES DPS

A Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) is a procedure available for contracts for works, services and goods that we commonly available on the market similar to an electronic framework agreement, but where new suppliers can join at any time. The requirements of this dynamic purchasing system can be split into two broad categories: Materials and Services.

Materials At present, subject to a few exceptions, the Council is responsible for identifying and arranging suitable outlets for the materials collected on its collection services, at its Bring Recycling Sites and through its Recycling Village. Some of these outlets are arranged on a joint basis with our partner Councils, Gateshead and Sunderland, and administered by the Joint Waste Partnership.

Others are arranged directly by the Council, and it is these that fall within the scope of this DPS. The range of materials encompasses cardboard, scrap metal, high and low quality wood, mixed plastics, carpets, mattresses, waste engine oil, gypsum board (plaster wallboard), rubble, vehicle tyres and trade waste recycling (paper / cardboard / glass jars and bottles / cans / plastic bottles).

The requirement relating to each material is to provide a delivery point to receive the material, to then arrange its processing (perhaps through a series of stages and outlets) such that the maximum amount of recyclable content is passed into the supply chain, and the Council is able to demonstrate that recycling in its inputs to the national Wastedataflow database. Services Whilst the main waste treatment and disposal services are properly covered, there are a number of services that fall outside the scope of any Partnership arrangement, and which include: • The receipt and processing of abandoned vehicles and caravans. • The provision of a collection, delivery and emptying service for hooklift containers • The provision of a skip hire (e.g., 6 / 8 m3 skips) service for allotment sites and other locations • The collection and processing of scrap plastic wheeled bins Material Delivery Points required for: Category 1: Cardboard Category 2: Scrap Metal Category 3: Low Quality Wood Category 4: High Quality Wood Category 5: Mixed Plastics Category 6: Mattresses Category 7: Waste Oil Category 8: Trade Waste Recyclables Category 9: Gypsum Category 10: Rubble / Inert Waste Category 11: Tyres Category 12: Gas Bottles Category 13: Dry Street Cleaning Waste Category 14: Gully waste Category 15: Carpets Services Category 16: Abandoned Vehicles Category 17: Hooklifts Category 18: Skip Hire Category 19: Processing of old Wheeled bins Category 20: Monitoring of Landfill Gas
