Waste Contract

Haringey Council has awarded a new contract for waste collection and street cleansing to Veolia ES (UK) Ltd. This new contract came into effect on 17 April 2011. Some of the key aspects of this contract can be found in the service summary below.

Consultation

As part of the procurement process, the council undertook a consultation with residents on waste services in the borough, which was issued as an insert in the July 2009 edition of Haringey People magazine. This resulted in the biggest response the council has ever had to a consultation. A survey was also sent out to businesses, to help shape a new commercial waste service.

More information on these surveys can be found in the waste consultation page.

Procurement

The procurement process that led to the award of this contract was carried out under EU Procurement Regulations using a competitive dialogue procedure. This allowed the council to work with suppliers during the procurement to gradually refine solutions as the dialogue progressed. The council issued suppliers with an Output Specification early in the process, which the was used by these companies to develop their proposals.
