The existing contract expires on 31 March 2026, and the council seeks to reduce residual waste, maximise recycling and re-use while minimising costs. As part of their planning phase, the council is undertaking market engagement to understand the market and prepare an effective tender. Potential suppliers have until 17 February 2025 to RSVP for a virtual discussion scheduled in the week commencing 27 February 2025. This tender creates substantial business growth opportunities for companies involved in waste management, recycling, and environmental services, especially those with innovative solutions to reduce waste and enhance recycling efficiency. Businesses experienced in large-scale waste operations are well-suited to compete for this £70 million contract. Participation in the market engagement process allows companies to influence contract specifications, ensuring they are competitive and tailored to current market capabilities. ## Notice As a Waste Disposal Authority, Devon County Council is responsible for providing facilities (Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs)), at which members of the public can discard their bulky household waste. The authority manages a network of 19 HWRCs which manage approximately 80,000 tonnes per annum of household waste. Of the 19 HWRCs, Deepmoor HWRC in the District of Torridge is subject to contract with a third-party service provider and therefore not part of this contract. In 2023-24 the 18 HWRCs involved in this contract handled approx. 79,000 tonnes of waste in total, while the two Waste Transfer Stations handled approx. 12,000 tonnes. The focus of the contract shall be to reduce residual waste, maximise recycling, re-use and re-sale, whilst minimising cost. The existing contract under these services is due to expire on 31/03/2026 and as part of the planning process for the new procurement to replace this service the Authority wishes to undertake a level of pre market engagement in order to better appreciate and understand the market for this service and ensure it can produce a specification, tender process and final contract as attractive as possible to potential suppliers. In order to participate in this market engagement process please see the information in the additional information below. Additional information: Please note this notice is not a call for competition. The Authority is seeking the thoughts of potential suppliers on a number of areas including but not limited to, contract requirements and contract timescales and structure. The Authority invites potential suppliers for a virtual discussion to be held in w/c 27th February 2025 via Microsoft Teams. This process is hoped to assist the Authority in preparing a tender that is deliverable, practicable, and would open participation to a wide market and provide a cost-effective service for the Authority. Those wishing to attend are required to access the RSVP document available, along with additional information at http://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk and submit via the messaging portal (as a message) at http://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk.
