Refuse disposal and treatment: collection and treatment of KGA (small hazardous waste) 2026 Tender

Original: Refuse disposal and treatment – De ophaling en de verwerking van KGA (Klein Gevaarlijk Afval)

IVVO OV

About this tender

The notice concerns the collection and treatment of KGA (Klein Gevaarlijk Afval, small hazardous waste) for IVVO OV. The excerpt available covers Perceel 1 (lot 1), which concerns technically empty packaging (TLV, technisch lege verpakkingen) that originates from hazardous waste. Packaging must be virtually free of residue to allow recycling at recycling companies, with only traces such as drops or dried paint-film-like residues permitted. The TLV are split into three categories: Code 1, empty KGA packaging and removable plastic parts; Code 2, empty KGA packaging and removable metal parts; and Code 3, empty plastic water-based paint pots. The buyer expects actual recycling of these fractions, which is a significant award criterion. Tenderers may also submit a price for energy recovery if recycling proves impossible. The buyer invites bidders to price specific treatment (such as pre-treatment or co-incineration), energy recovery, and recycling separately. The excerpt does not state the contract duration or the scope of other lots.

How bids are scored

Recycling of the TLV fractions is a non-negligible award criterion. Energy recovery offers are explicitly disadvantaged under the innovation-related award criterion. No price/quality split or weightings are disclosed in the available text.
