UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council is currently in the planning stage for the contract titled "Collection/Delivery and Treatment of Household Chemicals." This procurement, under the industry categories of refuse and waste-related services as well as environmental services, seeks expressions of interest from potential suppliers. Delivery is expected to be within the United Kingdom, specifically in the UKF22 region. The council is conducting Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) to explore market interest and investigate options for handling household chemicals, including acids and oils, from waste sites and roadside collections. Interested parties have until 29th August 2025 to engage through the market engagement exercise.

This tender offers notable opportunities for business expansion, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) in the environmental services and chemical management industries. Businesses with expertise in handling and treating diverse chemical waste are well-suited to participate in this process. While this stage is purely a request for information, involvement provides an opportunity to influence future tender specifications and align potential offerings with the council's requirements for the five-year contract period commencing in April 2026.
