WRAP Capital Grant Assistance to increase processing infrastructure
for the greater use of recycled and secondary aggregates in England

WRAP (the Waste & Resources Action Programme) is conducting this
competition for the provision of support to promote the greater use
of recycled and secondary aggregates through fixed and mobile plant
and equipment.
WRAP has identified that a key challenge faced by the  aggregate
market is the availability of economic, consistent and high quality
recycled and secondary
aggregates. WRAP intends to tackle this barrier by securing new
processes for their cost effective production and use. WRAP is aware

that the level of funding necessary to do this is substantial and
continues to offer support to stimulate the necessary investment.
WRAP will provide up to 30% support of eligible capital costs towards
infrastructure to process the following (non exclusive) typical input
materials: Construction, Demolition and Excavation Waste (CD&EW),
China clay waste, Slag
waste from a metallurgical process, Clay contaminated CD&EW,
Recycled asphalt planings (RAP), Rail ballast, Residual readymix
concrete, Residual asphalt, Glass cullet for aggregate applications,
Spent oil shale, Sewage sludge,
Waste materials to manufacture synthetic aggregates, Gully waste,
Waste ceramics, Waste bricks, Pulverised fuel ash, Furnace bottom
ash, Burnt colliery spoil, Unburnt colliery spoil, Foundry sand,
Slate waste and Waste tyres,
which are able to meet the following key conditions:
* The Facility or Facilities are to be located in England
* The output of the Facility or Facilities is to be as a minimum,
quality recycled or secondary aggregates, for which the Tenderer must
demonstrate both a
sustainable source and market. The Facility or Facilities may,
however, include further processing of recycled aggregates into added
value products.
* The successful Tenderers must be able to demonstrate that the
viability of the total investment in the Facility is dependent on the
intervention provided by
the support.
The support will be made available by means of a competitive
procedure and WRAP wishes to invite suitably qualified candidates to
tender for support. Tender submissions will be assessed on an equal
and competitive basis by a panel of independent expert assessors
against the criteria detailed in the Tender
Invitation Document A full Tender Invitation Document can be obtained from
the WRAP website or by written request quoting CJ AGG0045 to:

with successful Tenderers in August 2004 with support funding being
available from

at supporting Capital Projects in Scotland.
