UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has initiated the planning stage for a procurement process focused on the Gasifier Operations Contract, categorised under refuse and waste-related services. The project is situated at the Eco Park in Shepperton, United Kingdom, with activities planned in both regions UKJ25 and UKJ26. The contract aims to handle the operation of a 55,000-tonne gasifier and treat residual 'back bag' waste. The procurement process currently involves preliminary market engagement and invites interested parties to respond by 31st July 2026. Prospective respondents are encouraged to complete a questionnaire and may participate in one-on-one meetings in September or October 2026 to further discuss their input.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management and environmental services, especially those with experience in operating large-scale gasification facilities. Given the scale and scope of the contract, it is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) eager to expand their portfolio in the public sector. Participating in this process could provide strategic growth opportunities by aligning with a large public authority's long-term commitment to sustainable waste management solutions. Businesses engaging early in the planning phase may gain valuable insights and forge partnerships that position them advantageously for subsequent stages of this procurement.
