Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Enfield is conducting a Soft Market Testing exercise for the operation of Barrowell Green Reuse and Recycling Centre. This initial engagement aims to gather information from potential service providers before starting the formal procurement process. Interested parties must submit a Market Testing Questionnaire by 19th April 2023 for consultation. The procurement is related to refuse and waste services, with a value of £6,700,000 GBP. Participation in this exercise does not guarantee any advantage in future procurement opportunities, with a formal tender expected to be advertised in Summer 2023.

The Soft Market Testing exercise initiated by the London Borough of Enfield presents an opportunity for service providers in the waste management industry to engage with the buying organisation before the official procurement process begins. Businesses with expertise in refuse and waste-related services would be well-suited to participate in this early consultation stage. The exercise aims to ensure non-discrimination and fairness among potential providers, contributing to transparent and competitive future procurement events. Participating in this engagement can help businesses understand the requirements and explore partnership possibilities with the London Borough of Enfield.

Notice Title

Soft Market Testing - Operation of Barrowell Green Reuse and Recycling Centre

Notice Description

Pursuant to Regulation 40 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the PCR 2015), London Borough of Enfield (LBE), is seeking to conduct preliminary market consultation / discovery exercise before commencing the procurement procedure for the Provision of a Household Waste and Recycling Centre (HWRC) service contract. LBE intends to potentially undertake this consultation via meetings with service providers, who are invited to submit an expression of interest through the portal. As part of this process, service providers are required to submit a completed Market Testing Questionnaire in advance of the sessions which may subsequently take place. Interested providers are invited to submit Appendix 1 - Soft Market Testing (SMT) Questionnaire Response (included in the Market Engagement pack) and upload to www.londontenders.org. This should be completed and submitted to the Council via the messaging facility of the Portal no later than 5:00pm on Wednesday 19th of April 2023. PLEASE NOTE: EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST MUST BE RECEIVED BY 5:00PM ON WEDNESDAY 19 APRIL 2023. Any requests to extend this date need to be submitted via the messaging facility within the Portal by 5:00pm on Friday 14th April 2023 for consideration by LBE. LBE will operate any meetings with the market within the key principles of non-discrimination, equal treatment and transparency. Pursuant to Regulation 41 of the PCR 2015, LBE will ensure that competition is not distorted by the participation of a service provider during this pre-procurement market consultation. LBE will record the measures taken to ensure that competition is not distorted. In particular, LBE will note key points arising from the meetings. Pursuant to Regulation 41(2) of the PCR 2015, LBE reserves the right to circulate to all attendees and subsequently any other candidates or tenderers, an anonymised set of consolidated notes. This initial engagement/discovery exercise will help inform options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this is intended as an awareness/information gathering exercise only and is not a call for competition, is not a pre-qualification process and is not the start of a formal procurement exercise. Participation or non-participation in this pre-procurement market engagement/discovery exercise shall not prevent any potential provider participating in, nor shall it place any potential provider at an advantage in any future procurement opportunity. Any future procurement opportunity is expected to be advertised in Summer 2023. However, this timeframe is indicative and LBE reserves the right to reschedule any forthcoming publication at any time.
