About this tender

Bornova Belediyesi (İzmir) is tendering the lease of a 3-year concession for collecting, transporting, and routing packaging waste to recycling within the Bornova district, under the Deposit Management System (Depozito Yönetim Sistemi). The work covers separate collection at source of deposit-bearing packaging. The buyer plans to place 6 Automatic Return Machines (reverse vending machines) at locations it designates. Bidders compete by increasing the unit price per deposited packaging item, with a floor of 0.137 TL per item excluding VAT. The estimated contract value (muhammen bedel) is 665,820.00 TL excluding taxes and VAT. This was derived from an assumed minimum of 750 deposited items per day per machine, obtained from operator price quotes. The buyer states this figure is not a guaranteed deposit quantity, and it is used only to set the guarantee amounts. The tender is conducted under Law No. 2886 (Devlet İhale Kanunu), Article 35(a), by closed bid. The tender document costs 5,000.00 TL and must be purchased by every bidder. The provisional guarantee is 19,974.60 TL (3% of the estimate). The contract term is three years.

Bidder eligibility

Required documents include: (1) a trade/industry chamber registration certificate issued within the year of the notice or the last application date; (2) a signature declaration (notarised for individuals) or a signature circular with the current Trade Registry Gazette for legal entities; (3) a debt-clearance certificate from the Bornova Municipality Financial Services Directorate, issued after the notice date; (4) a declaration that the bidder is not barred from tenders under the specification's prohibited acts clause; (5) a joint-venture declaration if bidding as a consortium; (6) a provisional guarantee letter or cash receipt; (7) proof of purchase of the tender document; (8) proof of contact details (address, phone, fax, email) for notifications. Professional competence: the bidder must hold authorisation from the Türkiye Çevre Ajansı (Turkey Environment Agency) as a Deposit Field Management System (DSYS) operator for İzmir province, and must be registered in the Agency's Deposit Information Management System (DBYS). For legal entities, these credentials must be held by the company itself or by a partner holding more than 50% of shares. If the >50% shareholder route is used, a certificate from an authorised accountant or sworn financial adviser must confirm that the >50% shareholding has been maintained continuously for the past year. For joint ventures, it is enough that one or more partners meet the professional competence criteria, regardless of their share. Bidders may participate through a proxy with a notarised power of attorney.

How bids are scored

The tender is awarded on the basis of the unit-price increase per deposited packaging item. Bidders must bid above the 0.137 TL excluding-VAT floor. No quality, technical scoring, or price/quality weighting is disclosed in the notice. The award presumably goes to the highest acceptable bid, but the notice does not state this explicitly.
