Far North District Council

Solid Waste Services

Far North District Council (FNDC) operates a network of fifteen refuse transfer stations, twelve community recycling centres and two resource recovery centres at Kaiatia and Waipapa. These are currently managed and operated through two contracts, divided geographically covering the north and south areas of the district. These contracts expire in September 2024.
We need supplier(s) who can provide waste services for FNDC. Pricing for additional services is being sought in line with the Ministry for the Environment’s (MfE’s) requirements and to address options being considered as part of FNDC’s future potential waste strategy.
It is anticipated that more than one contract will be awarded as a result of this procurement process, however the final bundling of services will be dependent on the Responses received and what outcome results in better overall value and quality of service for FNDC.
This RFP contains six (6) Separable Portions (SPs), covering three distinct scopes of work over three geographic areas. Respondents may choose to submit a Response on one SP, all six SPs, or any combination of SPs of their choosing.

The scope of the services are largely as follows:
• Management and operation of refuse transfer stations, community recycling centres, and resource recovery centres to include the consolidation of materials, processing and sale of recyclables and diverted materials and data management.
• Transportation and collection services, to include, provision of open top bins, transportation of bulk and bin-based materials, kerbside collection services, illegal dumping collection and data management.
• Landfill disposal

We are interested in a collaborative approach with a partner(s) who is willing to facilitate appropriate solutions for waste collections and resource recovery.
