This initiative falls within the management-related services sector, located in England. The engagement period is active, with the deadline for responses set for 12:00 noon on 7th October 2020. Interested parties can participate in this tender by completing a short questionnaire available on the EU Supply Portal, which aims to gather market feedback from experienced contractors in managing clinical waste services. This procurement process presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in waste management and clinical waste services to grow and expand their operations. Firms that provide management and monitoring services for clinical waste, especially those familiar with regulatory compliance and industry best practices, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging with NHS bodies and local authorities could also lead to long-term partnerships in managing the complexities of clinical waste disposal and compliance. ## Notice NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGEM CSU) are undertaking a market engagement exercise on behalf of NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSEI) and the Clinical Commissioning Groups who comprise the NHS commissioning bodies as well as potentially Local Authorities in England, in the form of a short questionnaire to gain market feedback from experienced Managing Agent Contractors for Clinical Waste services.

The core objective of the Managing Agent is to support operational and contractual management of existing, new and future clinical waste contracts as well as support data collection and analysis of waste volumes. Further details on the main aims and objectives for a Managing Agent and details on current Clinical Waste Contracts by region are detailed under: * Appendix A - Managing Agent Aims and Objectives * Appendix B - Primary Care Clinical Waste Contracts by Region The closing date for the questionnaire 12:00 noon on the 7th October 2020.
