This initiative is focused on refuse and waste-related services and is set to take place in the East of England, specifically in Peterborough. Key dates include the engagement end date on 21st January 2019, when organisations must complete the Soft Market Testing Questionnaire. Following this, the tender is anticipated to be issued in March or April 2019, aligning with the Council's aim to commence the contract in November 2019. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the waste management and environmental services sectors, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their service offerings. Participating in the market engagement process will enable businesses to contribute to the development of the service specification and procurement strategy. Firms that excel in innovative waste treatment solutions and have experience in local government contracts would be especially well-suited to compete for the forthcoming tender. ## Notice Peterborough City Council is developing a tender for the treatment of Food Waste that is separately collected from the kerbside. This offers the opportunity to review and re-design services with the aim of placing the Council in a position whereby they may offer the treatment of food waste as an opportunity to the supply market with a contract commencing in November 2019. To assist this work we would like to engage with representatives from interested organisations to seek and gather views regarding the specification and procurement approach. This will take place through interested organisations completing a Soft Market Testing Questionnaire and then individual meetings being held during January 2019. Information gathered from this early engagement will inform the procurement approach and service specification. Participation in this exercise is voluntary and the subsequent tender will be open to all organisations whether or not they have been involved in this process. It is anticipated that the tender will be issued in March/April 2019. If you are interested in this opportunity please complete the Soft Market Testing Questionnaire which can be accessed through link above to the SourceDogg e-procurement system. Questionnaires are required to be completed by 12 noon on 21st January 2019. Further detail is provided in the Soft Market Testing Questionnaire. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/498e7a39-5b29-497e-b842-5dc81562555a | | 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 | 7 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 21 Jan 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | PETERBOROUGH CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | PETERBOROUGH | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE2 8TY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH41 Peterborough | | Local authority | Peterborough | | Electoral ward | Fletton and Stanground | | Westminster constituency | North West Cambridgeshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90500000 - Refuse and waste related services ## Release History - 7 Dec 2018 at 13:52 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/498e7a39-5b29-497e-b842-5dc81562555a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/498e7a39-5b29-497e-b842-5dc81562555a 7th December 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://secure.sourcedogg.com/profile/57fad8bb-8f6a-4ab1-afeb-531e2ec7e009/requests/25152 Soft Market Testing Questionnaire ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
