## Summary

The Wolverhampton City Council is currently engaged in a procurement process for legal services related to the Waste Disposal Contract. This contract, which has been active since 2007 with Enterprise Managed Service Limited and is now under review, is valued at £160,000 and is set to run from 1 March 2017 to 31 December 2017. The procurement method utilised is a direct award, with a tender period that concluded on 28 February 2017. The geographical scope of this tender is the West Midlands region in the United Kingdom, specifically focusing on the services that will manage waste collection and disposal.

This tender presents significant opportunities for law firms specialising in public sector contracts and waste management services. Businesses with experience in handling variations to existing contracts, particularly those involving specifications and payment mechanisms, would be well-suited to compete. Given the involvement of larger firms like Weightmans, smaller and medium-sized enterprises may also find a niche in supporting these services, particularly if they possess relevant legal expertise or local knowledge that aligns with Wolverhampton City Council’s requirements.

## Notice

City of Wolverhampton Council entered into a contract for Waste Disposal Services in 2007 with Enterprise Managed Service Limited (now owned by Amey PLC). The contract was for an initial term of 14 years and dealt with the collection and disposal of waste through the city. This includes household waste, green waste and trade waste. It also included a TUPE transfer of staff and associated pensions issues. The Council is currently undertaking a consultation with a view to delivering savings on the waste services. Although the consultation is still under review, the Council would like to obtain the services of external solicitors to deal with any variation to the contract including changes to the specification and payment mechanism. Additional information: Awarded as a direct call off from the Council's own Legal Framework.
