UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is initiating a procurement process for the collection and treatment of biowaste, specifically focusing on green and brown bin waste. This process is currently in the planning stage, with a pre-market engagement exercise occurring to assess market interest. The initiative is categorised within the refuse and waste-related services industry and is relevant to service providers equipped in composting and waste management. Located in the UK's Northern Ireland region, the Council seeks industry feedback by 14th January 2026 via the eTendersNI portal, leading into the next phase, set to be communicated by 30th January 2026. The planned contract period is from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028, with potential extensions up to 2030.

This pre-market engagement exercise presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the waste management sector to expand their operations by potentially establishing partnerships with the Council. Companies specialising in composting services, refuse disposal, treatment, and transport services, particularly those acquainted with non-hazardous waste management, would find this tender pertinent to their growth ambitions. Participating in this engagement provides businesses with valuable insight into public sector procurement processes, fostering relationships that could lead to long-term collaborations and stability within the governmental waste management supply chain.
