WRAP, working on behalf of the Northern Ireland Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) wishes to commission a commercial and industrial (C&I) waste survey for waste arising in the 2024 calendar year. The most recent survey estimates for Northern Ireland are based on modelling conducted using data from the England 2009 commercial and industrial waste survey. The main aims of the project are to determine how much waste from C&I businesses in Northern Ireland was produced by waste type and sector and how that waste was managed during the 2024 calendar year. The successful tenderer will be contracted to commence work in Q1 of the 2025/26 calendar year, with a proposed project delivery time frame of 18 months from inception and anticipated value of £400,000.

This RFI is focused on Materials System Transformation, looking at the use of Textiles, and Plastics Packaging. It will assist in understanding if there is capability, capacity, and supplier interest for this work and in what areas. Questions have been included in Appendix 1 of the RFI document. If you are interested in the opportunity, please complete and return by the date included in section 5 below. WRAP makes no obligations or undertakings in any way to: go to tender; accept any RFI information received in this process; or any other commitment to suppliers whatsoever, including any intention to form a contract with any supplier for provision of the Opportunity. As we accelerate delivery in line with our strategy, we will increasingly need access to technical expertise (in the UK and Internationally). This could be a mix of Organisations who have the networks and expertise we need to advance our programmes and Individuals who can add value to the skills, knowledge and expertise of our internal teams. We anticipate the spend to be roughly £500k-£1,000000 across both lots, with the framework contract being a maximum of 8 years.

We are seeking an external review of the proposed additions to the tool to ensure the quality and robustness of new baseline data inclusions, as well as data, reporting and measurement methods of new improvement actions. A report on the methodology and main data sources used by the calculator will be provided to the contractor once in place. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.

The construction sector is a crucial industry for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the long term. One-third of material consumption and 26% of carbon dioxide emissions come from this sector globally. The recent Circularity Gap Report: Northern Ireland highlighted agriculture and construction as Northern Ireland's most material- and emission-intensive sectors. Infrastructure, housing, and repair and maintenance are still the construction sector's most important activities in both Northern Ireland and the UK. DAERA wish to consider the inclusion of the construction, demolition and excavation waste sector as a contributor to meeting the above referenced 70% recycling target. Accurately quantifying C&D waste is very challenging due to limitations on reporting, the sector generating C&D waste being diverse and tonnages frequently being estimated rather than weighed. The objectives of this work are to: Produce reliable data estimates of the quantities, fates and composition of CDE Waste in Northern Ireland in 2023/24. This data is required to: Inform progress towards the statutory EU target Inform progress towards the Climate Change Act target. Assist with the development of appropriate policy initiatives / interventions, if and where required, to boost waste prevention, reuse, and increase recycling of these waste streams in line with circular economy ambitions. The study will include an element of primary data gathering through surveys, as well as use of existing information. Specifically, this study should: Generate reliable estimates of the amount of CDE waste arising in Northern Ireland in 2023/24, including waste dealt with on the CDE sites, waste sent off site for management at a licensed or exempt sites, waste sent for beneficial purposes to landfill, and estimation of waste disposed of illegally by SOC and EWC codes; Generate reliable estimates of the amount of CDE waste managed in Northern Ireland in 2023/24, including waste managed both on the site of arising and off site; Provide a breakdown of both waste arising and waste treated by waste type (SOC and EWC codes); Provide a breakdown of the amounts and proportion of material reused, recycled, recovered or sent to landfill; Make a quantified assessment of the carbon impacts of the waste and the costs to Northern Ireland; and Make a quantified assessment of the potential for further reduction, reuse and recycling of the various waste streams.

To deliver the recycling collection reforms across businesses generating non household municipal (NHM) waste in Northern Ireland, evidence shows the need for different types of support to help both businesses and waste collectors transition to high recycling services. Following feedback from businesses and non-household organisations in England, the most valued form of support to increase business recycling is via direct in-person advisors. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.

The Resources and Waste Strategy for England, though supporting consultations and the development of new instruments set out in the Environment Act 2021 have put in place policy measures to help drive positive changes in municipal waste recycling. The next phase of policy drivers will conclude Statutory Guidance and supporting Non-Statutory Guidance (NSG) to confirm the secondary legislation that will provide detail to Local Authorities on the minimum requirements for collection of waste and recycling. WRAP has been tasked with helping draft the NSG.
