Notice Title
North East Wales Food Waste Treatment
Notice Description
A procurement Hub comprising Conwy County Borough Council, Denbighshire County Council and Flintshire County Council is seeking expressions of interest from providers able to offer a service for the treatment of household collected food waste. The Hub requires a treatment process that meets Wales Government's definition of recycling (e.g. PAS100 for anaerobic digestion) for approximately 10,000 tonnes of separately collected food waste per year. All three Hub Authorities collect source separated food waste from households and businesses in EN13432 certified liners. All collected food waste is free from packaging. Food waste will be delivered by the Hub in bulk sealed skips but consideration will be given to solutions that include haulage and/or solutions offering direct tipping at the treatment facility by the Hub's collection vehicles. Consideration will be given to solutions that allow for packaged food wastes to be processed.
Planning Information
To express an interest in participating in this pre-market engagement activity and receive a full copy of the Market Engagement Brief and Market Testing questionnaire please e-mail procurement@denbighshire.gov.uk. Completed questionnaires will need to be competed and returned to procurement@denbighshire.gov.uk by no later than Noon on the 16th January 2026.
