## Summary

The Medway Council is inviting bids for the Clinical Waste Contract, focusing on the collection and final disposal of clinical waste. This procurement falls under the medical waste services category and has a contract value of £225,000. The tender is in the active stage and will close on 15 January 2018. The contract is expected to commence on 23 March 2018 and may extend for a total duration of up to 9 years, responding to the evolving needs of healthcare services in the South East of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for SMEs specialising in waste management and environmental services. Businesses that possess the capacity to handle a variety of clinical waste types, including potential cytotoxic and cytostatic contaminants, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The emphasis on adapting to changing healthcare demands could also open further avenues for innovative service providers in the sector.

## Notice

Medway Council is seeking a sole contractor to undertake the collection or receipt and final disposal of clinical waste. The contract will be for a period of 5 years with the option to extend twice, both for 24 months meaning a total possible contract duration of 9 years. The majority of the Clinical Waste to be handled under the Contract will fall into the European Waste Catalogue Category Codes 18 01 01 and 18 01 04. However, given the nature of the contract the requirements are continually changing and expanding, in particular in relation to current and on going healthcare developments, such as Care in the Community and self-medication, therefore, the Contractor must have the capability and capacity to deal with all categories of clinical waste, including potential contamination with cytotoxic and cytostatic medicines.
