This process, not a call for competition, is in the planning stage with a key engagement end date of 6 March 2025. The deadline to respond to the market testing questionnaire is 20 December 2024 at 1300 hours. The requirements include reception and distribution in the West Midlands, and cover the industry category of waste and rubbish containers (CPV 34928480), home delivery of provisions (CPV 85312200), and bins (CPV 39224340). The council plans to start collecting food waste by April 2026, necessitating the provision of branded waste receptacles to every household by this date. This tender represents significant business opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in manufacturing, supply chain, and logistics within the waste management sector. Dudley Council seeks 142,000 kitchen food waste caddies, 140,000 kerbside food waste caddies, 140,000 wheeled bins for recycling, and 142,000 rolls of food waste caddy liners, all to be branded appropriately. Businesses with capabilities in large-scale production and distribution, especially those capable of managing timely and comprehensive delivery to a municipal region, would be well-suited to capitalize on this opportunity. Interested parties can further explore the details and express interest via the provided procurement portal. ## Notice This is not a call for competition, this is a soft market testing exercise for further details please go to https://in-tendhost.co.uk/blackcountryportal/aspx/ The purpose of this exercise is to inform potential procuring arrangements and distribution and delivery of waste collection receptacles including food waste caddies and liners. Dudley Council's household waste is currently collected from 141,641 properties as separate waste streams and taken to either our Lister Road Depot (Residual waste) or Blowers Green Depot (Recycling). All collected recycling is then collected by separate contractors for the different material types of Glass, Plastic/Cans and Paper. Dudley Council does not collect any food waste currently but is looking to do so from April 2026 in line with the new regulations. The council has looked at our operating model and is planning to combine the collection of mixed glass with mixed plastics and cans and start the collection of Food Waste from April 2026. We anticipate our requirements to be as follows: 142,000 x 7 Litre Kitchen Food Waste Caddies 140,000 x 23 Litre Kerbside Food Waste Caddies 140,000 x 240 Litre Wheeled Bin (for glass, plastic and cans recycling) 142,000 x Rolls of Food Waste Caddy Liners (52 liners per roll) All receptacles are to be branded with the council logo on body of the bin and in addition the food waste caddies are to be branded with a government logo to be provided. We are seeking to provide each household in the borough with all of these items in a single delivery. All households should receive their delivery by 1st April 2026 as this is when the collection model starts.
