The Council would therefore welcome the views of suppliers on the questions set out below.

This will be approximately 5,525 tonnes per annum (not guaranteed) and will include any items identified as wood waste as per the specification. There will be daily collections, the numbers of which are variable based on the seasons. The proposed initial contract term is 36 months with a proposed contract commencement date of February 2026, with an option to extend for a further 24 months (1 period of 24 months) for a potential total contract term of 60 months. Estimated contract spend for the initial 36 months is PS675,000 and PS1,125,000 across the potential 60-months contract term.
