Objectives

To establish a transparent, efficient procurement framework for the removal and processing of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal, alongside plastic waste, generated during industrial operations. The primary goal is to maximize financial recovery through a structured per-kilogram rebate system while ensuring environmentally responsible, safe, and logistically streamlined waste diversion.

Scope

The tender encompasses the complete collection, sorting, weighing, and removal of specified scrap materials across three main categories:

• Ferrous Metals: 3CR12, Blue Steel, Cast Iron, General Steel, Heavy Steel, Mixed Stainless Steel, Steel Shavings, and Subgrade.
• Non-Ferrous Metals: Aluminium (Cast, Extrusion, OR, and Unclean grades) and Unclean Copper.
• Secondary Waste: Plastic.

Pricing is structured as a fixed rebate payable per kilogram upon verified weight submission. The scope requires suppliers to maintain strict grade segregation throughout the collection and transport process to preserve material value.

Technical Requirements

Suppliers must comply with operational, safety, and documentation standards:

• Grade Segregation: Strict separation of materials according to the provided commodity list to prevent cross-contamination and ensure accurate rebate calculation.
• Certified Weighing: Use of calibrated, legally approved weighing equipment with auditable ticketing for every load.
• Logistics & Equipment: Provision of appropriate transport vehicles, lifting gear, and containment solutions capable of safely handling heavy, sharp, or loose scrap materials.
• Safety & Environmental Compliance: Adherence to site-specific handling protocols, use of mandatory PPE, and compliance with waste management and emissions regulations during collection and transit.

Terminology Notes: “OR” Aluminium refers to “Old Rotting” or “Open Recycle” aluminium, a standard industry grade comprising aged, oxidized, or mixed aluminium scrap suitable for remelting. “Subgrade” indicates lower-purity or mixed scrap that falls below premium specifications but retains recoverable value. “3CR12” is a martensitic stainless steel alloy known for high hardness and moderate corrosion resistance, requiring separate handling from standard carbon steels.

Skills Requirements

Contractors must demonstrate proven expertise in scrap metal logistics and material management:

• Metal Identification: Proficiency in visually and physically distinguishing between ferrous, non-ferrous, and specialty alloys, including aluminium extrusions, cast variants, and stainless steel grades.
• Heavy Material Handling: Experience operating or supervising cranes, forklifts, balers, shredders, and bulk transport vehicles designed for industrial scrap.
• Documentation & Reconciliation: Ability to accurately process weighbridge records, match volumes against rebate schedules, and submit compliant financial documentation.
• Risk & Safety Management: Knowledge of occupational health and safety standards for handling sharp, heavy, or potentially contaminated materials, including incident reporting, spill containment, and emergency response procedures.
