Tender for used tire disposal: ZARE provides a sample service description
The proper disposal of used tires is a daily occurrence for many municipalities, cities, and counties. However, when a new tender for transport and recycling is issued, numerous requirements must be considered and services clearly defined. What requirements must be met for transport and recycling? How are disposal routes documented transparently? And what qualifications should the participating companies demonstrate?
To support public contracting authorities in their preparation, the ZARE initiative provides a practical sample specification for the transport and recycling of used tires and rubber waste.
The template was specifically developed for municipal waste management structures and is based on typical processes in municipal waste management, such as transfer stations or landfill sites. It can be used as a basis for your own tender and adapted to the specific local conditions.
The sample service description considers the disposal process from the provision of suitable containers through collection and transport to the subsequent recycling of the used tires. The necessary expertise and qualifications of the companies involved, as well as the documentation of the disposal routes, are also taken into account.
Particular emphasis is placed on the traceability of the recycling process. The standard specifications stipulate, among other things, that the complete recycling process must be documented for the client and the intended recycling facility must be named. Furthermore, a process flowchart for proper sorting is included.
This template helps public contracting authorities to formulate clear requirements for the subsequent handling of used tires right from the tender stage. At the same time, a structured specification of services simplifies the preparation of the tendering process and creates transparency regarding the services expected from the contractor.
Especially with used tires, it's important not to focus solely on collection and disposal. What happens to the tires and the raw materials they contain afterward is also crucial. The ZARE template therefore also considers recycling and the documentation of further disposal processes.
For municipalities, cities and districts, the sample service description thus offers a concrete working aid that does not start from scratch: Order-related information such as location, service period and expected quantities can be added and the content adapted to the respective circumstances.
The sample service description for the transport and recycling of used tires and rubber waste is now available on the ZARE website for direct use and internal technical review.
