## Summary

Maidstone Borough Council is seeking engagement from potential suppliers for the future of its Commercial Waste Service. The engagement process is currently in the planning stage, with the final deadline for submissions set for 5pm on Wednesday, 29th January 2025. This request falls under the industry category of sewage, refuse, cleaning, and environmental services (CPV 90000000) and is centred in England, UK. The Council is exploring whether to continue providing the service directly, sell it, or deliver it differently based on the market's feedback.

This supplier engagement is an excellent opportunity for businesses in the environmental services industry, particularly those specialising in waste management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, providing them with a platform to showcase their capabilities and potentially secure future contracts. By engaging in this process, businesses can help shape the service's future delivery and possibly highlight innovative or cost-effective solutions. Interested parties should make their submissions via the 'Messaging' section of the Kent Business Portal by the specified deadline.
