The National HomeThe National Home Composting Framework, now available exclusively from Straight plc, has been established by the Waste Improvement Network (WIN), which is delivered by Improvement and Efficiency South East (IESE).
WIN has worked with ESPO (Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation), WRAP, the Better Tomorrows community interest organisation and local authorities to procure the national framework. Straight plc has been appointed as the sole supplier for all of the products and services available.
This EU compliant contract is designed to replace the WRAP home composting scheme which ended in England at the end of September 2009. Councils in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are also able to take advantage of the framework if they wish.
A wide range of compost bins and accessories are available. These are available for:
The retail scheme involves minimal management on the part of the council. We are offering a complete solution including promotion, order processing, home delivery and after sales support. This works in a very similar way to the previous WRAP campaign.
The key benefit of this framework is that there is no need for councils to go to tender if they wish to sign up. This saves time and money for both customer and supplier. The range of competitive prices have already been agreed through an extensive tendering process and are up to 30% less than the most recent prices charged by WRAP in England.
Any local authority in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland can take advantage of either the bulk prices or the agreed prices for the retail scheme. There is no need for councils to tender for the supply of goods.
Please see our product guide for more details.
All compost bins are available for bulk supply. Core products and optional products as well as all of the accessories are available on the retail schemes.
Retail compost bins start at just £14.00. A full price list is available on request.
Or you can also contact ESPO – contract reference 860.
