This contract will encompass services in regions UKJ25 and UKJ26 within the United Kingdom. Currently in the planning stage, it involves preliminary market engagement activities, with written responses due by 31st July 2026. The tender will include the operation of several community recycling centres and waste transfer stations, alongside the design, build, finance, and operation of new facilities at Doman Road, Camberley, and Slyfield Industrial Estate in Guildford.
