Joint Procurement

LWARB will look to develop a cycle of procurements of waste management equipment that will take advantage of London’s combined buying power

A steering group will be established to help guide this process and LWARB will look to work with other organisations working on procurement activities

Best Practice

LWARB will continue to support and improve its existing tools such as the London Waste

Map and Capital Waste Facts

LWARB will investigate how it can help to disseminate and share good practice within London

Deliver Borough Efficiency Reviews through a repayable grant scheme

Waste Management Services Framework

LWARB are working with Improvement and Efficiency South East (iESE), WRAP and Keep Britain Tidy to develop and operate a Waste Management Services Framework for waste & recycling collection, street cleaning, grounds maintenance and bulky waste collection services, covering London, South East, South West and West Midlands

This will allow those boroughs, who have opted in, to call off contracts for combinations of waste management services, without the need to use the full EU procurement process

It is hoped that the framework will lead to costs savings in the procurement process and cheaper contract prices

Model Contracts

LWARB will develop a library of links to existing model contracts, and where appropriate will work with partners to establish the need for the development of bespoke London model contracts

LWARB will also work in partnership with iESE to develop model contracts for those services listed within the Waste Management Services Framework

Service Sharing

LWARB will work with waste authorities to develop London wide or sub regional shared services

In the first instance this will look to build upon the success of other London wide service contracts, and offer niche waste related services across borough boundaries

LWARB believes that significant efficiencies (financial and operational) may be achieved by targeted shared service activities amongst the waste authorities

Reuse and Recycling Centres

LWARB recognises the important role that these sites offer in providing a large range of recycling opportunities for householders

LWARB will look to support the invaluable service that these sites offer and will develop a programme of support in consultation with London’s waste authorities
