Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency, based in London, has initiated the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Waste Pre-Market Engagement Event," focusing on services related to the management of illegal, non-compliant, or abandoned waste and landfill sites. This procurement falls under the industry category of refuse and waste-related services. The preliminary engagement event is scheduled for 26 March 2025 at 10am GMT, to be conducted online via Microsoft Teams. Interested suppliers must reach out by 25 March 2025 for further information and participation details. The procurement process is guided by the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and, if it progresses, will potentially lead to the establishment of suitable contracts beginning in October 2026 and running through September 2030.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in waste disposal site construction, project management consultancy, and environmental issues consultancy services. SMEs with technical or commercial expertise in these areas are well-suited to compete, as their involvement can help shape the procurement framework and establish future contracts. Participation in the pre-market engagement allows businesses to gain insights into the Environment Agency’s expectations, contribute to the development of the procurement strategy, and build key relationships for future project collaborations.
