This procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 1st September 2022. The contract is scheduled to commence on 17th October 2022 and will run until 30th April 2024. This project aims to assist households in the Ladywood area to effectively separate food waste and promote composting practices, coinciding with upcoming regulatory requirements from the Environment Act 2021. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management, community engagement, and composting solutions. Companies with a strong track record in working with local communities, particularly in disadvantaged areas, will be particularly suited for this project. Additionally, those capable of developing robust data collection methodologies for waste management and environmental impact reporting will find this tender aligns with their expertise, providing a platform to broaden their community impact and business portfolio. ## Notice The Horizon 2020 'Food Trails' project is looking to procure a provider to deliver a pilot in the Ladywood area of Birmingham to support householders to separate food waste from general waste. In addition to the waste separation, the pilot will test ways to encourage householders to turn food waste into compost. The compost produced through this activity will be used either for home growing activity or be collected and used locally. The pilot should look to test the approach in a variety of household types: high-rise flats and houses with gardens and houses with yards. The successful provider will be required to demonstrate pre-existing links with the target community in Ladywood and a track record of working with disadvantaged communities. The provider will have experience of working with food waste to produce compost and have experience of working with communities to support growing activity. The provider will have experience of how to encourage a permanent adoption of food waste separation activity as well as how to build an appreciation of the importance of food waste as a contributor to soil production/composting. The provider will be required to develop a data collection methodology to report the amount of food waste collected and work with a knowledge partner to develop a methodology for calculating the amount of methane saved and the carbon saving as a result of food waste diversion from landfill. The data from these calculations will be shared with the contractor (BCC, including the Waste Management Team and the Public Health Food Team) and the H2020 Food Trails team. The provider will also be required to deliver a formative and summative evaluation of all pilot activity. This will also require establishing links with existing composting projects in Birmingham to collect data from their activity to provide a compelling case to BCC Waste Management team. The ultimate goal is to achieve a roll out of pilot activity across Birmingham. Applications from consortiums will be looked upon favourably, although the pilot will be led by a single provider who will be the accountable body for project activity. As specified in the Environment Act 2021, all councils will be required to make weekly collections of food waste from 2023, so the learning from this pilot is timely. The H2020 Food Trails project is led by the Council's European and International Affairs (E&IA) team with strategic and policy input from Public Health. Food Trails is being delivered over four years from October 2020 to September 2024.
