This procurement falls under the industry category of Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services. The engagement end date for interested parties is 30 June 2023. The council is aiming to identify alternative methods for waste disposal in line with UK Government's Net Zero and Climate Change targets. This tender by the Kent County Council presents an opportunity for businesses involved in waste management and environmental services to compete for a contract worth 800,000 GBP. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in waste collection, disposal, and recycling are well-suited for this opportunity. Interested organisations should register their interest by 30 June 2023 to participate in the market engagement and potentially provide future services to the council. ## Notice The Kent County Council (KCC) wishes to engage with suppliers regarding capacity in the market to provide future Clinical Collection, Reception and Disposal (CCRD) Services. Additional information: KCC's existing contracts for CCRD services are due to end December 31st 2023. This contract encompasses the collection, reception, and disposal of clinical waste from Kents residents via their respective waste collection authorities (WCA). This includes high temperature incineration (HTI) wastes, waste for alternative treatments (AT) (such as autoclave) and offensive waste for energy from waste plants, the latter two comprising of just bag waste were as HTI consists of both bags and sharps boxes. KCC currently disposes of around 500 tonnes per annum arising from Kent kerbside collections and waste received at KCC's waste transfer stations also from WCA and their off takers collection. Interested parties would need to be able to collect waste from ours and our WCA partners waste transfer station under their own wheels in a frequency that will keep them clear and able to receive waste during all their operational hours. In addition to this they will need to have a disposal facility or TS themselves that WCA's and their off takers can access to deliver clinical waste direct to the potential provider within the geographical area of Kent. KCC is looking to identify and understand alternative methods for the disposal of clinical waste that would escalate waste types up the waste hierarchy especially as landfill is not an option. Part of this would include KCC efforts to maximise the recycling of materials within this waste stream wherever possible taking into consideration the UK Government targets around Net Zero and Climate Change. If your organisation is interested in providing CCRD services and has capacity to take all or some of this material in the future, please 'Express an interest' in this opportunity. Organisations which 'Express an interest' in this opportunity will be invited to complete a 'Market Engagement Questionnaire', which will be immediately accessible via the Kent Business Portal. These questionnaires should be completed and sent via the messaging facility on the Kent Business Portal. Responses to this questionnaire will be used to inform KCC's strategy for commissioning these services; KCC may contact organisations directly to discuss/clarify their response to this questionnaire where necessary. The deadline for participating in the market engagement and completion of the questionnaire is 30 June 2023. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/004234c8-6ca6-4045-9d96-cde0d7581cfe | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 30 Jun 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £800,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | KENT COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | MAIDSTONE | | Post town | Rochester | | Postcode | ME14 1XQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ45 Mid Kent | | Local authority | Maidstone | | Electoral ward | Penenden Heath | | Westminster constituency | Maidstone and Malling | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90000000 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ## Release History - 6 Jun 2023 at 08:01 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/004234c8-6ca6-4045-9d96-cde0d7581cfe - 6 Jun 2023 at 07:51 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f68527da-16a1-41aa-9af9-46ad0e636c18 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/004234c8-6ca6-4045-9d96-cde0d7581cfe 6th June 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f68527da-16a1-41aa-9af9-46ad0e636c18 6th June 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=3b42f3f2-7d03-ee11-8123-005056b64545&p=8691483f-2f3d-e711-80e1-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.kent.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
