UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for the "Treatment of Wood Waste from Leicestershire County Council Waste Sites". This market engagement is scheduled to gather insights from potential suppliers regarding services related to refuse and waste. The procurement addresses wood waste from the Council’s Waste Transfer Stations and Recycling and Household Waste Sites across the UKF22 region in the United Kingdom. Interested parties should note an important milestone with a deadline on 24th October 2025; however, the formal contract period is anticipated to commence on 1st September 2026 and run until 31st August 2029. The process is classified under public authority - sub-central government, with opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs to engage in this preliminary dialogue.

This preliminary market engagement offers a significant opportunity for businesses focused on waste management services to establish relationships with Leicestershire County Council and influence future procurement conditions. Companies providing innovative and efficient waste treatment solutions, especially those experienced in handling wood waste, would be well-suited to participate. As this is currently a request for information rather than a tender bid, it provides an opportunity for businesses to align their capabilities with the Council’s needs, potentially paving the way for future contracts. SMEs and VCSEs specifically are encouraged to contribute their insights, as this could foster growth and development within these sectors.
