Collection, Sorting, Reuse, Recycling and Disposal of Bulky Waste for Powys County Council

Notice Description

Powys County Council (the Council) is undertaking preliminary market engagement to inform the development of its procurement strategy for the appointment of a supplier to deliver its bulky waste collection service.
