UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rutland County Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process for HWRC Waste Treatment and Disposal Services, focusing on sewage, refuse, cleaning, and environmental services. The procurement is categorised under services and is valued at £1,815,000. The primary aim is to engage with suppliers to understand delivery models, capacity, and risks. The Council is currently conducting soft market testing as part of this process, with a deadline for feedback submissions set for 15th July 2026. This initiative is intended to inform the future procurement strategy, and details about this engagement are available for interested parties in Oakham, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in environmental services, particularly those specialising in waste management and recycling. Organisations that can provide insights into innovative delivery models and effectively address market capacity are encouraged to participate. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are considered suitable for this opportunity, given the scale of the services and the requirement to span a contract period from April 2027 to March 2032. By contributing to this preliminary market engagement, businesses stand a chance to influence the final procurement approach and position themselves for future tender opportunities with Rutland County Council.
