Summary of the contracting process

The Highland Council is initiating a market consultation for the "Residual Waste Treatment" project, aimed at developing a long-term solution for waste management in response to the landfill ban on biodegradable municipal waste set to take effect from 1 January 2021. This consultation is crucial for understanding current market solutions and interest. The project is categorised under environmental protection and services, with the council's headquarters located in Inverness, UK. Interested parties should submit their responses by 1 June 2019, as information on service provisions will greatly influence the structure of upcoming procurement exercises.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in waste management, environmental services, and the construction of materials recovery facilities. Companies capable of providing innovative waste treatment solutions or operating waste management services will find this procurement process particularly relevant. As the Highland Council seeks to bridge the gap until the implementation of a long-term waste disposal solution, firms that can demonstrate expertise in designing and constructing waste treatment facilities are well-suited to engage in this market consultation and subsequent contract opportunities.

Lot Information

Lot 1

From the 1 January 2021, landfill operations in Scotland will be prohibited from accepting biodegradable municipal waste. The Highland Council is engaged in the development of a long-term residual waste solution therefore this market consultation is intended to explore options for a service provision which can bridge the gap from the introduction of the landfill ban and any future long-term solution.

The MRF is intended to produce refuse derived fuel from residual MSW arising from the whole of the Highland Council area. A Planning application is due to be submitted shortly and it is anticipated that the determination of the application will be known in early 2019.
