UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council is initiating a procurement process for Waste Disposal Services, anticipated to commence by November 2026. This process involves managing and delivering waste disposal services within Wolverhampton, focusing on both kerbside collections and services at the city's Household Waste and Recycling Centres. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, and will be conducted through an open procedure, divided into several lots including green waste processing, clinical waste disposal, and other related waste management services. Interested parties should note the upcoming notice publication date set for 1 July 2026, as well as a planned market engagement milestone that was met on 16 March 2026. These steps are in preparation for the contract period, which is set to begin on 1 November 2026 and potentially extend until 31 October 2030.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in refuse and waste-related services to expand their operations in the public sector. The contract being divided into multiple service lots means that both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can find suitable opportunities. Potential bidders with capabilities spanning green waste recycling, hazardous waste management, and clinical waste disposal may find this project particularly aligned with their offerings. Given the scale of waste management required for a population of over 600,000 residents, this procurement process offers substantial prospects for long-term business growth by partnering with Wolverhampton City Council in fulfilling statutory waste management duties.
