UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Yorkshire Council intends to procure a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) service for dry mixed recycling from the Skipton area. The service is expected to cover the collection and processing of dry mixed recyclable material, including the treatment of non-hazardous waste and associated recycling activities. The work is classified as refuse recycling and waste-related services. Delivery is focused on the Skipton area in North Yorkshire. This is a public-sector waste services requirement managed by North Yorkshire Council, suitable for organisations that operate or can provide access to a Materials Recovery Facility and can manage the movement and processing of dry mixed recycling collected from the local area.

The procurement is at the planning stage: North Yorkshire Council is gathering market information and has not yet invited tenders. The council expects to undertake preliminary market engagement, with engagement planned by 28 August 2026, and expects a subsequent procurement notice on 16 November 2026. The estimated gross value is £2,000,000 including taxes, and the procurement is above the relevant threshold. It is planned as one lot. The anticipated contract period is 1 May 2027 to 30 April 2029, with a renewal option allowing the arrangement to continue until 30 April 2031. The lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers should treat the dates as the buyer’s current expectations, not bid deadlines.

This will suit waste management companies, recycling operators and MRF providers with the operational capacity to receive dry mixed recycling from the Skipton area, process it through suitable recovery facilities and support collection arrangements. The requirement is commercially relevant to businesses experienced in non-hazardous waste treatment, recycling sorting and related waste services. The council has identified the procurement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so participation is not limited to large national operators. Businesses with an established local or regional presence, reliable transport and processing capacity, and experience handling dry mixed recycling should use the engagement period to explain how their facilities and service model could meet the requirement. The market engagement is the opportunity to prepare and influence the eventual specification before tendering begins.
