Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) aimed at processing dry mixed recycling from the Skipton area. This opportunity falls under the services industry category, specifically targeting refuse recycling and waste-related services. The council, a public authority at the sub-central government level, is inviting market engagement to assess supplier availability, with a preliminary market engagement notice already published. Interested parties should note the important date of 28th August 2026, which marks the deadline for market engagement. The project is valued at GBP 2,000,000 and is planned to commence on 1st May 2027, running through to 30th April 2029, with the possibility of renewal until 2031.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in waste recycling and refuse management services. Companies with expertise in operating Materials Recovery Facilities and those capable of handling non-hazardous waste treatment would find this procurement well-suited to their capabilities. The planned procurement process highlights the council's intention to gather insights from the market, which can be advantageous for businesses looking to establish or expand their footprint in the refuse recycling sector in North Yorkshire. Engaging early in the process allows companies to better tailor their offerings to match potential requirements outlined by the council.
