Dublin City Council wishes to establish a multi-party work agreement for the maintenance and repair of mobile and static compactors and containers for a one year period initially to cover 2021/2022 (expected to commence Q4 2021). However there will be an option to renew the work agreement for three periods of one year each to cover 2022/2023, 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 respectively. Renewals are at the sole discretion of Dublin City Council subject to annual, periodic and other reviews  

The cascade method will be used to drawn down Tenderers from the multi-party work. 

• Tenderers to be evaluated and ranked 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 for year one.

• Tenderer ranked 1 will have first option on all business for year 1 of the work agreement. If unable to meet requirements as stated, cascade method will be used – i.e. 2nd ranked tenderer will be consulted, followed by 3rd and so on. 

• Tenderers will be invited to revise and resubmit prices and proposed resources etc on an annual basis as part of a mini-tender process.

• Tenderers to be re-evaluated and ranked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 for year two by way of mini-competition.

Tenderer ranked 1 will have first option on all business for year 2 of the work agreement. If unable to meet requirements as stated, cascade method will be used – i.e. 2nd ranked tenderer will be consulted, followed by 3rd and so on.  

The same methodology will apply in years 3 and year 4.

The work is primarily for use by the Waste Management Division, but may also be extended for use by other divisions of Dublin City Council.   

The requirements are set out in the Tender documents. Tenderers are advised to ensure that they clearly comply with requirements in the Form of Tender (Appendix D).

A minimum number of three Tenderers will be admitted to the work, provided that three tenderers qualify in accordance with the selection and award criteria.
