Notice Coding and Classification

2.4

Total quantity or scope of tender

It is recognised that the actual annual subscription quantities can vary from year to year. The current year 2023/24 has a subscription level of approximately 27,000 totalling approximately 29,000 green bins subscribed.

However due to replacement stickers and re-location stickers being required the actual quantity required will be in excess of the count of subscribers. The suggested figure will allow for approximately 35,000 subscriptions per year and is an estimate and used to quantify the likely number of sticker templates, envelopes and terms and conditions required for any one year.

In addition to this some other subscriptions are required for Churches, Bowling Clubs etc. – approximately 60 locations amounting to approximately 100 green bins subscribed.
