Formed in 2016, Arc Partnership is a joint venture between Nottinghamshire county council and public sector procurement framework, SCAPE.
Arc Partnership and Ward began working together in 2019, with an official partnership agreement signed in 2021. The latest contract renewal follows Ward’s delivery and implementation of waste management solutions across Arc Partnership’s portfolio of public properties, including schools, libraries and clinics.
Mick Roots, national construction waste manager at Ward, said: “We’ve enjoyed a very positive long-standing partnership with Arc Partnership and this contract renewal is testament to both the strength of that relationship and our capabilities to provide a total waste management solution within the building and construction sector.
“We’re extremely proud of our ability to deliver the optimum waste management solution across Arc Partnership’s portfolio. We’ve worked closely to improve efficiency, reduce administration and consistently achieve material diverted from landfill rate of over 98%.
“Last year, Ward completed a significant number of waste movements, including grab services and hazardous waste removal. The Customer Portal with its Scope 3 carbon reporting capability, Arc Partnership is able to access transparent and actionable data insights about both material type and transportation of waste products too.”
Increasing sustainability
Paul Parker, operations manager at Arc Partnership, said: “We’ve worked with Ward for a few years now and they’ve been a vital partner in helping us to realise waste management efficiencies and increase sustainability across our property portfolio.
“The team’s construction sector knowledge has been paramount in helping us to improve our waste stream segregation, implementing efficient use of containers to reduce contamination and improve cost efficiency. Digital ticketing and electronic waste transfer notes, including photographic evidence, provides unrivalled transparency in identifying waste streams and recycling opportunities across multiple sites, while real-time carbon waste reporting helps to track and reduce CO2 emissions.”
