UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Leeds City Council, detailed under the title "Market Sounding Exercise - Kirkstall Inerts Haulage," is currently in the planning stage. This exercise aims to gather information on providing services for the collection of inert material from the Kirkstall Road Household Waste Recycling Centre. The industry category is primarily "Refuse transport services," with additional classifications under environmental services. Located in Leeds, this market engagement is supported by a preliminary notice published on 6th June 2025, with the engagement milestone due by 20th June 2025. The procurement method focuses on exploring market capabilities, and while it is not currently a formal tender, it sets the stage for future procurement opportunities. The potential contract period is planned from 1st January 2026 to 31st December 2030, with further notices expected by 1st August 2025.

This market sounding exercise provides an opportunity for businesses specialising in refuse and waste-related services to showcase their capabilities and potentially shape future procurement requirements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those with expertise in environmental and waste management services, are well-suited to participate in this exercise. By providing feedback and insights, businesses can influence the focus and efficiency of the upcoming procurement activity, thus creating growth opportunities within the Leeds waste management sector. Engaging at this stage allows organisations to position themselves favourably for future tenders that may arise from this exercise.
