Summary of the contracting process

The Wolverhampton City Council is currently engaged in a procurement process for legal services related to the Waste Disposal Contract. This contract, which has been active since 2007 with Enterprise Managed Service Limited and is now under review, is valued at £160,000 and is set to run from 1 March 2017 to 31 December 2017. The procurement method utilised is a direct award, with a tender period that concluded on 28 February 2017. The geographical scope of this tender is the West Midlands region in the United Kingdom, specifically focusing on the services that will manage waste collection and disposal.

This tender presents significant opportunities for law firms specialising in public sector contracts and waste management services. Businesses with experience in handling variations to existing contracts, particularly those involving specifications and payment mechanisms, would be well-suited to compete. Given the involvement of larger firms like Weightmans, smaller and medium-sized enterprises may also find a niche in supporting these services, particularly if they possess relevant legal expertise or local knowledge that aligns with Wolverhampton City Council’s requirements.
