Recovery of municipal paper, cardboard and carton waste in Potsdam

Summary

The tender covers the handover and recovery of Potsdam’s municipal share of collected paper, cardboard and carton waste from 1 January to 31 December 2027. The municipal share is 65% of the collected material; the estimated quantity is approximately 5,915 tonnes per year, but this is not guaranteed. The city’s waste service, STEP, arranges collection and transport to the handover point; these activities are outside the contract. The contractor must accept the loose, mixed and unsorted material, ensure its proper recovery, and arrange the handling of any contaminants and sorting residues. Handover must be agreed with STEP in advance. The contractor must weigh the material, document each handover and recovery, and provide weighing records for invoicing. The bid must state separate unit prices per tonne for both services. Participation requires, among other things, at least one completed comparable company reference from the last three years and details of the proposed processing and recovery facility. The bid must be submitted electronically in German by 3 November 2026 at 09:00.
