II.2.4) Description of procurement: The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is a component of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). Based in Cambridge it has, for over 60 years, undertaken the majority of Britain's scientific research on and around the Antarctic continent. BAS operates three bases in the Antarctic, at Rothera, Halley and Signy, and two stations on South Georgia, at King Edward Point and Bird Island. BAS liaises with the Environment Agency in the UK, regarding trans-frontier shipment authorisations. Waste from BAS bases is generally exempt from these requirements.

Approximately 300m3 (between 100-200 tonnes) of hazardous and non-hazardous waste from all BAS stations is segregated on site and sent to the UK on the two ships RRS Ernest Shackleton and RRS James Clark Ross. The amount of waste varies annually dependent on the science undertaken and any construction projects carried out during the season. The ships return to the UK typically between May and July each year and the waste is off-loaded and sent for reuse, recycling or other disposal in accordance with the waste hierarchy.

The work will require the contractor to provide bespoke waste management services involving the collection, transportation and disposal of waste generated at BAS stations and offloaded at ports in the UK.

A key element of the contract is to be able to provide a flexible service for which the collection location, waste types and quantities may change at short notice.
