The council, located in Leicester, England, is at the planning stage of procurement with an engagement end date set for 20th October 2022. This exercise seeks feedback from suppliers regarding the disposal of materials containing Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). This tender represents an opportunity for businesses in the environmental services sector, particularly those involved in waste incinerators, waste management containers, and installation services of waste incinerators. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate in providing input to help Leicestershire County Council decide on the treatment of waste upholstered domestic seating containing POPs.
