UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council, a sub-central government authority in the United Kingdom, is seeking to engage with the market for the future delivery of waste treatment, disposal, recycling, and infrastructure services within Derbyshire County and Derby City. This pre-market engagement is part of the planning stage and aims to explore various aspects, including innovative technology, market capabilities, and cost considerations. The planning phase includes a scheduled milestone due on 31st October 2025 for interested suppliers to express their interest via ProContract. The procurement is categorised under services, specifically focusing on environmental services, with a main procurement title of "PLACE856ET Pre Market Engagement." Additionally, a separate planned procurement notice for a dry mixed recycling contract, valued at £72 million, is in preparation, with the contract period expected to start in April 2026.

This procurement presents numerous opportunities for businesses within the waste management and environmental services sectors, particularly those capable of delivering innovative solutions and efficient service models. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement process seeks to reduce barriers to entry and leverage SME participation. Companies with expertise in implementing advanced waste treatment technologies, robust recycling infrastructures, and competitive cost structures will find this tender particularly attractive. By engaging in this process, businesses can potentially secure long-term contracts, enabling sustainable growth and the chance to shape future waste management services in a key region of the UK.
