Model Contracts and Tendering Toolkit for Waste Management

The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has developed this model contract, specification and supporting documents to assist councils in calling tenders for, and entering into, collection contracts for waste management and resource recovery services.
Local Government Association of South Australia has developed this toolkit to help local government develop some consistency in approach and tendering of solid waste projects.
Local Government waste management is becoming increasingly complex necessitating the management of a diversity of systems. In responding to this complexity, there is a need for more comprehensive contractual arrangements with service providers. Contractual arrangements not only relate to the actual collection system, but also reporting requirements to meet statutory and funding obligations from State Government.
The toolkit comprises:
- a user guide
- model contract
- schedules
