UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is preparing to procure a service provider or providers to collect, treat and process road sweepings. The work covers waste transport and treatment, including non-hazardous waste disposal and recycling. Delivery is in the Fermanagh and Omagh district in Northern Ireland. This is a local-authority environmental and waste-management service, rather than a purchase of equipment or construction works. The Council is using pre-market engagement to gauge supplier interest before deciding whether to proceed to a commercial competition.

The process is at the planning and pre-market engagement stage; there is no invitation to tender yet, and the engagement does not guarantee that a competition will follow. The Council expects to publish the next notice on 2 December 2026. Suppliers are asked to submit a pre-market engagement questionnaire by 12 noon on 17 November 2026. The planned procurement is one lot, with an expected contract period from 4 January 2027 to 3 January 2029 and an extension option to 3 January 2031. Its estimated value is £265,000 excluding VAT (£318,000 including VAT). The planned lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No procedure or award criteria are set out at this stage.

The work is likely to suit waste-management and environmental-services providers with the operational capacity to collect road sweepings and arrange their treatment, processing, transport and disposal or recycling. Suppliers with access to appropriate waste-processing facilities and the logistics to serve Fermanagh and Omagh may be well placed to respond when a competition is developed. The Council is seeking market feedback on the level of supplier interest, so providers can help shape its understanding of the market through the engagement questionnaire. The planned single-lot service is identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it relevant beyond only large national contractors. No specific technical accreditations, service standards or minimum capacity requirements are stated in the current plans.
