## Summary

Wigan Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "Haulage and Treatment of Waste Paper and Card Early Market Engagement." This procurement initiative is focused on the refuse and waste-related services industry and aims to manage approximately 11,000 tonnes of paper and card waste collected from households in Wigan annually. The buying organisation has set the engagement end date for submissions of interest as 18 January 2019. The planned contract will have an initial duration of two years, with provisions for extensions of one year for each of the following two years. Responses to this early market engagement must be submitted through the procurement portal 'The Chest'.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in waste management, recycling, and logistics. Companies that can provide haulage services, as well as those with expertise in managing and processing recyclable materials, would be well-suited to compete. Given the focus on social value and additional contract management obligations, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find a particularly advantageous position in responding to this engagement, thereby fostering their growth and enhancing service delivery in the local area.

## Notice

Wigan Council is undertaking an early market engagement exercise prior to tendering for services to haul and treat the paper and card waste collected at the kerbside from Wigan's households. Approximately 11,000 tonnes of paper and card waste is collected by Wigan per annum (equivalent to around 50 tonnes per day). The Service Provider will be required to arrange haulage of the waste on a daily basis, and subsequently deliver the waste to its treatment facility, where it will be sorted into marketable products that will meet the necessary standards of the paper and card industry. The contract also involves other aspects including contract management, reporting, contingency facilities, transitional arrangements and social value. It is intended to tender for a contract with an initial term of two years, with an option to extend for two further periods of one year. The early engagement consultation is being undertaken on the procurement portal 'The Chest', and all responses should be submitted via 'The Chest'.
