The title of the tender is "Soft Market Engagement Notice - WNC Dry Mixed Recycling Services". This tender falls under the industry category of refuse recycling services and is located in the East Midlands region, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with a future notice date of 18th January 2023. The Council intends to hold an open information session on 1st and 2nd February 2023. Key dates include a contract period from 19th to 27th January 2023, and the tender's minimum value is £2,200,000 with a total value of £4,000,000. This tender by the West Northamptonshire Council presents an opportunity for businesses interested in providing refuse recycling services to participate in the upcoming procurement process. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to engage, given the suitability indicated for them. Businesses with experience in waste management, transportation, and recycling services would be well-suited to compete for this tender. The Council aims to engage the market for inputs on contract terms, pricing mechanisms, and other relevant aspects before the formal procurement process begins. ## Notice We are seeking a contract for the transport, sorting and processing of the co-mingled dry recycling. We would like, at this stage prior to commencing formal procurement, to seek input from the market as to what the appetite is for undertaking this service and to allow an opportunity to discuss options for the delivery of future provision. Some of the issues we are seeking input on include contract length, pricing mechanisms, risk sharing, the state of the market, current MRF capacity and mobilisation periods. The Council intends to hold an open information session for all interested organisations to be held via scheduled meetings on TEAMS on 1 and 2 February 2023, due to this we may have to cap the maximum amount of interested parties, but please be assured this will not impact your ability to participate in the impending tender opportunity.
