Currently, the contractor is tasked to visit any of the locations listed below, as directed by the Defence Recycling & Disposals Team (DRDT). From there, equipment is evaluated and sold by the contractor, usually from site using the most cost-effective method. Under current arrangements, equipment is sold through this contract, and proceeds are split between the contractor and the MOD on a gainshare basis.

All taskings are made through DRDT’s Disposition Management System for which all contractors receive training in its use. Characteristics of Demand There is also a significant amount of waste to be removed and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner, and it must be in accordance with local environmental regulations. The disposal of waste from the Falkland Islands also makes up a large portion of this contract with all waste matter having to be removed from the islands. Where equipment or waste products are disposed of, an estimate of cost is presented by the contractor and on completion an invoice is placed through and paid by the MOD using the Contract Procurement & Finance (CP&F) system. Contractors are registered through Exostar to enable usage of CP&F. There is a requirement for the occasional, disposal of waste oil under this contract from various overseas locations. Such disposal requirements can be at short notice due to the unpredictable nature of overseas operations.
