Suffolk County Council is seeking to appoint a Contractor to receive and process Garden Waste. The waste is expected to be delivered directly to the processing site by Ipswich Borough Council, Babergh District Council, Mid Suffolk District Council and West Suffolk Council. The Authority is interested in solutions which minimise the overall cost and environmental impact of the service. Consequently, the future procurement will consider the transport distance between collection areas and treatment facilities, together with associated haulage impacts and treatment costs, as part of the evaluation methodology. Processing should create a composted material, to PAS100 standards, suitable to be sold as soil improver or to be spread on agricultural land as a composted material. The contract/s will be between the successful Contractor/s and Suffolk County Council, who are acting on behalf of the District and Borough Councils. Interested providers will be expected to work flexibly with Suffolk County Council throughout the Local Government re-organisation (LGR) period. The revised Suffolk structure is expected to commence April 2028 and is likely to result in changes to boundaries which may have impacts on tonnages delivered under each contract awarded, however we cannot provide clarity on this at the current point in time. Estimated annual tonnages including trade waste expected (but not guaranteed) below: Lot 1 - Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils - Tonnage - 14,400 Lot 2 - Ipswich Borough Council - Tonnage - 5,700 Lot 3 - West Suffolk Council - Tonnage - 11,900 Estimated contract values including optional extension periods: Lot 1 - Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils - £ 2,950,000 Lot 2 - Ipswich Borough Council - £1,150,000 Lot 3 - West Suffolk Council - £2,400,000 Please note all estimated values are ex. Vat. These figures are based on estimated tonnages and the Council does not guarantee any volumes or spend.

Castle Point Borough Council (CPBC) through the Essex Procurement Partnership (EPP) is looking to renew their recycling waste disposal services contracts. This relates the provision of a waste transfer station (WTS), haulage and Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) services for the borough's dry mixed recycling requirements (excluding glass). The contract duration is 5 years plus an optional extension of up to 5 years in one or multiple increments. Known-unknown risks: 1- Declining or failing end markets Impact: Financial pressure, operational disruption, and performance risks for both the Contractor and the Authority. Why this cannot be addressed upfront: Neither party can accurately forecast long‑term end‑market viability or values, making upfront risk pricing potentially disproportionate and poor value for money. 2- Geopolitical events / Wars / Blockades Impact: Service delays, reduced recycling performance, financial pressure on the Contractor, or value‑for‑money risks for the Authority Why this cannot be addressed upfront: Pricing, service volumes, and operational impacts cannot be accurately or proportionately quantified at contract inception without introducing excessive risk premiums. 3- Extreme weather events Impact: Effects to service continuity, performance standards, and contract affordability. Why this cannot be addressed upfront: It is not possible to price or fully mitigate all operational and financial impacts upfront without introducing disproportionate cost or risk premiums. There is a possibility that the contract may require modification if one of the identified risks above materialise

The successful Supplier will be required to provide catering services for the four schools of Generations MAT, two Secondary schools – Goffs Academy and Goffs Churchgate and two primary schools, Flamstead End and Oakview Primary School and potentially new schools as they join the trust where existing contract allow. The name “Generations” was deliberately chosen for our Trust, and reflects our desire to be a Trust that educates and nurtures children from their earliest days at school. Partnership is at the heart of our all of our work, founded in a core commitment to there being no set destiny for any child, regardless of their starting point. Goffs Academy is a mixed 11-18 comprehensive academy with approximately 1,600 students on roll, including a thriving and successful sixth form. The school is also extremely popular in the local area, with an average of over 800 applications annually for the 240 places available, and significant waiting lists for places across the year groups. Goffs-Churchgate Academy is a fully mixed 11-16 comprehensive school, with approximately 600 students on roll. The school has rightly established a very strong reputation for both its academic outcomes and its close-knit, nurturing community, receiving an average of over 600 applications for just 120 available places. The decision to cap student numbers at 600 is entirely deliberate, enabling us to maintain a strong sense of community where everybody knows everybody else. Flamstead End School is a thriving primary school with approximately 480 children on roll. It has a preschool, a 60-place nursery offering 30 hours provision, and two classes per year group from Reception to Year 6. Flamstead End is also a ' Herts Therapeutic Thinking' school, and seeks to understand and support children's behaviour so that they are able to learn and achieve to the best of their ability. The school is a tight knit community, with a well-established staff who care for one another and the children in their charge. Oakview Primary School is a one-form entry warm and welcoming primary school with currently approximately 180 children on roll although we anticipate that this will grow to a figure closer to the theoretical capacity of 210. After joining the trust in January of 2025, Andrews Lane Primary was relaunched as Oakview Primary, marking the beginning of a significant transformation under the leadership of the Trust. This was far more than a rebrand. The change of name signaled a new identity, reflecting the ambition to deliver a higher quality of education, stronger community links, and continuously improving outcomes for all children. As a 'Herts Therapeutic Thinking' school, the school is committed to understanding and supporting children with their learning and achievement, within a context of deep-rooted mutual respect. Staff are committed, dedicated professionals who want to do their very best for every pupil. The Trust is presenting this exciting opportunity to partner with a supplier who is able to deliver their vision of promoting health and wellbeing through food provision across the four schools which currently are budgeted to achieve sales of £1.05m with a catering model that is close to break even for the trust. It is thought that, with focus of resources and investment, there is still some growth potential through finding the optimum foodservice offer. Please see PSQ Document for more information.

Non-school Alternative Provision (NSAP) refers to educational arrangements delivered outside of a mainstream or special school setting for children and young people who are unable to access full-time education within a traditional school environment. These provisions are typically commissioned by local authorities, schools or multi-academy trusts to meet the needs of pupils who require a different approach to education and support. Including Education Otherwise Than at School (EOTAS). Alternative Provision serves a diverse group of learners, including those who have been permanently excluded, are at risk of exclusion, experience significant social, emotional or mental health difficulties, have medical needs that prevent regular school attendance or require additional support to engage effectively in education. In some cases, NSAP may also be used to support pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) where their needs cannot currently be met within a school setting. The use of NSAP does not remove the Local Authority's duty under Section 42 of the Children and Families Act 2014 to secure the special educational provision specified in an Education, Health and Care Plan. NSAP can take a variety of forms, including specialist tuition services, vocational learning programmes, therapeutic education providers, outdoor learning environments and online or blended learning models. These settings often provide smaller class sizes, more personalised learning programmes and additional pastoral or therapeutic support to help pupils overcome barriers to learning. The primary aim of NSAP is to ensure that children and young people continue to receive a suitable education while addressing the underlying factors that may be affecting their engagement, attendance or achievement. Provision may be designed to support a pupil's successful reintegration into a school setting or to provide longer-term educational arrangements where this is considered to be in the learner's best interests. Within the context of local authority commissioning and SEND services, non-school Alternative Provision plays an important role in maintaining educational access and improving outcomes for vulnerable learners. Effective commissioning arrangements include robust quality assurance, safeguarding oversight, monitoring of attendance and progress, and regular review to ensure that provision continues to meet the needs of the child or young person and delivers value for money. Suffolk County Council are exploring the possibility of inviting Tenders for inclusion on an Open Framework of approved, quality assured providers of Non-School Alternative Provision intended to facilitate the placement of vulnerable children and young people for whom the Council has a statutory responsibility. All young people placed under this contract will be of statutory school age in Key Stages 1-5, up to the age of 19 (and potentially 24 if they have an EHCP). In addition, pupils will have a range of backgrounds that could include but not be limited to: • Being excluded or not attending a mainstream or special school for a prolonged period; • Young people in public care who have had disrupted care placements and/or schooling; • Young offenders on supervision orders; • Young people awaiting court hearings or on bail conditions. • Children and young people with additional needs i.e. Autism • Children and young people with Disabilities • Students waiting for a place within mainstream education or special schools More information about Open Frameworks can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-act-2023-guidance-documents-define-phase/guidance-frameworks-html This notice does not constitute a call for competition or a commitment to procure. Should this go ahead, the Open Framework is expected to replace/succeed the Alternative Education Rolling Select List currently in place (ref CD1397).

The decarbonisation and energy scope will include solar photovoltaic systems and associated services, including inverters, controls, metering, monitoring and battery storage systems, together with solar thermal, air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, solar-assisted heat pumps, biomass, CHP/micro-CHP, heat networks, wind turbines, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, smart heating controls, sensors and monitoring equipment and other emerging renewable, low-carbon and energy-efficiency technologies associated with the heating, electrical, mechanical and decarbonisation scope that may be required during the life of the framework. The framework may support retrofit, decarbonisation, ventilation, overheating, indoor-air-quality, EPC improvement, net-zero and future energy-performance requirements, including requirements arising from grant-funded programmes. Retrofit assessment, energy and technical support services may include pre- and post-works Energy Performance Certificates, energy assessments, SAP10 assessments, retrofit assessments, retrofit coordination, retrofit design, PAS 2035 site visits, air-pressure testing, technical monitoring and cavity-wall borescope services, together with associated services. Legionella risk assessments may also be instructed where required in connection with the works and systems covered by the framework. Project management services may be provided for heating, electrical, mechanical, retrofit and decarbonisation programmes, including grant-funded programmes, and may include management and coordination of the appointed supplier's own works and/or coordination of works delivered in collaboration with other framework suppliers. Requirements may be delivered as individual property works, grouped schemes, planned programmes, servicing and compliance programmes, responsive repairs, emergency works, grant-funded projects and larger retrofit or decarbonisation programmes, together with associated services. The framework is intended to remain sufficiently flexible to respond to changes in legislation, technical standards, funding requirements and technology during its term, including the introduction of emerging renewable and energy-efficiency measures falling within the heating, electrical, mechanical and decarbonisation scope. Suppliers appointed to the framework, either directly or through their declared supply chain, will be required to have the capability to deliver the overall range of works and services included within the scope.
