        "description": "Maidstone Borough Council is inviting interested parties to take part in a supplier engagement process regarding the future of its Commercial Waste Service. At this stage the Council is undecided about whether to continue providing this service directly, selling the service, or delivering it in a different way and is engaging with the market to explore the value of the service and interest in purchasing it or delivering the service on the Council's behalf. All submissions must be made via the 'Messaging' section of the Kent Business Portal. Submissions must be submitted by 5pm on Wednesday 29th January 2025. Disclaimer The Council is conducting this supplier engagement exercise to understand the market in terms of supplier interest, possible solutions and potential costs. No guarantee is offered that it will result in a tender for this service, and no contract will be awarded at the conclusion of this engagement process - although one may be offered via a subsequent tender if this is deemed appropriate. If you require any further information at this stage, please contact us through the Kent Business Portal and we will aim to respond to your query as soon as possible.",
