The engagement process will conclude on 13th April 2022, with interested providers invited to submit their responses to a soft market testing questionnaire by midday. This project, valued at £58 million, falls under the category of sewage, refuse, cleaning, and environmental services, and the services will be operational following a six-month mobilisation phase starting in October 2023. The initiative is taking place in Oakham, England. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are eager to expand their market share. Companies involved in refuse collection, cleaning, and related environmental services are encouraged to participate in this engagement to showcase their capabilities and insights, which will help inform the Council's procurement strategy. By participating, these businesses can position themselves favourably for future tender opportunities with Rutland County Council. ## Notice THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION TO TENDER Please note all information provided is indicative and for information purposes only. Rutland County Council will be looking to re-tender its environmental services during 2022/23 ready for an operational services commencement date of the 1st April 2024, with a Mobilisation Phase (6 months) for the provision of Environmental Services commencing in October 2023. Providers are invited to respond in full to the questions set out in the soft market testing questionnaire. This will help Rutland County Council gauge the level of interest and the experience of organisations delivering environmental services and will help inform our procurement strategy. Responses should be submitted via ProContract www.eastmidstenders.org by 12:00noon on 13th April 2022. Please note that participation (or lack of) will not (dis)advantage any potential bidder for future tender opportunities. The Council is currently at the market engagement stage, and as such, the Lot information provided is indicative only and is potentially subject to change. The proposed lotting structure is an area of the soft market testing questionnaire that we invite interested providers to respond to, so that we can better understand how to package services together. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/39825a27-40d5-4870-9e64-bdcf1e5c2b04 | | 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 | 16 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 13 Apr 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £58,000,000 | | 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 | RUTLAND COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | OAKHAM | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE15 6HP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Rutland | | Electoral ward | Oakham South | | Westminster constituency | Rutland and Stamford | | 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 - 16 Mar 2022 at 12:58 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/39825a27-40d5-4870-9e64-bdcf1e5c2b04 - 16 Mar 2022 at 12:57 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/790f0bec-7225-4462-b3ce-4ad5946910f9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/39825a27-40d5-4870-9e64-bdcf1e5c2b04 16th March 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/790f0bec-7225-4462-b3ce-4ad5946910f9 16th March 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - http:// ProContract Link for Soft Market Testing Questionnaire - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=f0782fb2-27a5-ec11-8112-005056b64545&p=527b4bbd-5c58-e511-80ef-000c29c9ba21 ProContract Link for Soft Market Testing Questionnaire ## Notice URLs - https://www.rutland.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
