Compost Quality Assurance Scheme Tender 
Source: rx3
-------------------------------------------------------------
RX3 - Rethink Recycle RemakeRx3 published a request for tenders for a compost quality assurance scheme on 6th October 2010 on the e–tenders website. The closing date for the procurement process is 16th November 2010. 

International market driven quality assurance schemes have long been recognised as having a positive impact on collection and treatment of organic waste in other jurisdictions as well as the on quality of the compost produced. In Ireland, it is considered that the development of a compost quality assurance scheme will instil further confidence in consumers as to the quality of, and benefits to, using compost products. A quality mark/logo/label, as part of a compost quality assurance scheme, will also assist consumers in identifying high quality compost products. 

The purpose of this Request for Tenders is to appoint a contractor to conduct a 3–phase project:

  • (i) to develop a compost quality assurance scheme and associated documentation (Phase 1);
  • (ii) to trial the compost quality assurance scheme for a 12 months (Phase 2);
  • (iii) to operate on a pilot basis the compost quality assurance scheme for a further 12 months (Phase 3).

This proposal is being developed in accordance with the recommendations in the Market Development Programme for Waste Resources 2007 - 2011, which is sponsored by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government.
