## Summary

The North Somerset Council is overseeing the procurement process for the "West of England Residual Municipal Waste Treatment Solutions" project, aimed at managing residual municipal solid waste for the councils of Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol City, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire. This initiative is currently in the Award stage, with a total contract value of approximately £467.25 million, running from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2040, with the possibility of extensions. The tender period closed on 20 August 2018, and it involves two lots: Lot 1 for Residual Municipal Waste and Lot 2 for Bulky Waste, requiring firms to meet specific capacity and diversion criteria from landfill.

This procurement represents significant opportunities for businesses involved in waste management and recycling services, particularly those that hold the necessary facilities and capabilities to process large tonnages of municipal waste. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find valuable prospects by bidding for one or both lots, as the councils may award multiple contracts. Firms equipped to handle the technical and logistical demands of diverting waste from landfills will be particularly well-positioned to participate in this ongoing initiative.
