About this tender

HOFOR, a group of Copenhagen-area utility companies (HOFOR Spildevand and HOFOR Vand entities in several municipalities, plus HOFOR Fjernvarme P/S and HOFOR Bygas P/S), is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to create a list of qualified soil receivers operating environmentally approved facilities. The DPS covers receiving, treating and onward disposal of soil from HOFOR's ongoing operation, renovation and construction works, plus activities that enable soil recovery and the supply of classified recycled or recovered materials in non-virgin form, such as washed gravel and sand. The soil may be dry or wet, documented or undocumented, and clean or contaminated. Onward disposal may be for cleaning, reuse in HOFOR excavations, or end use. The expected quantity is 6,650,000 tonnes, with a maximum of 9,800,000 tonnes. Annual volumes will be specified in the tender lists of later period purchase contracts. HOFOR will run mini-competitions under the DPS for period purchase contracts of 1 to 2 years, with options to extend by up to 24 months in total. HOFOR has no obligation to purchase any minimum quantity, is not bound to exclusivity, and may buy the same services outside the DPS within procurement rules. Tender conditions and contract documents will be made available when invitations to tender are sent. The DPS is open for the duration of the system, and only applicants admitted when an invitation to tender is issued may take part in that tender.

About this sector

Circular economy funding supports reuse, repair, remanufacturing, product redesign and secondary materials markets. Grants tend to back pilots with businesses and local authorities, while tenders buy collection, sorting and recovery services. Applicants are usually asked to show the material flows involved and who will buy the recovered output.
