Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Clinical Waste Contract" is currently in the planning stage and is being organised by the West Sussex County Council. The contract falls under the services category, specifically clinical-waste collection services (CPV code 90524100). The project aims to establish a new framework for the collection, disposal, and contact centre operations related to clinical waste within West Sussex. The initial request for information (RFI) indicates that the council is seeking interested parties by 9th August 2024, with the service expected to commence in April 2025. The contract is likely to require a single service provider to manage these operations across multiple district and borough partners within the region.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management and disposal services, particularly those with experience in handling clinical and offensive waste, operating call centres, and managing transfer stations. Enterprises that can deliver social value, innovative solutions, and environmentally sustainable practices will be favourably considered. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in these areas are encouraged to participate, as the council is keen to understand the potential and capabilities of various market participants. This contract, expected to last up to 6 years, represents a substantial business growth opportunity for companies that can demonstrate competence in these specialised waste management services.
