The current contracts, each managing over 95,000 tonnes of waste, are set to expire in 2025. The Council is seeking market feedback on various aspects like contract length and waste transfer options before formal procurement. The engagement will end on July 12, 2023, with Stage 1 scheduled for July 14, 2023. The industry category is refuse recycling services, and the location is East Midlands, United Kingdom. This tender for refuse recycling services by the West Northamptonshire Council presents an opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs. Businesses in waste management, transportation, and recycling industries would be well-suited to compete. The soft market engagement allows for input on service delivery options and future provision possibilities, aiming to improve waste management practices in the region. The Council's proactive approach provides a chance for potential suppliers to shape the future of waste treatment and disposal services in the area. ## Notice The Council currently has 2 contracts for the treatment and disposal of residual waste which are due to expire on 31 March 2025. The scope of the current contracts include: * the provision of waste transfer facilities where residual waste collected from residents at the kerbside and at the Council's network of household waste recycling centres is delivered and bulked for onward transport; * The haulage of residual waste to its end destination; * The treatment and disposal of residual waste. The Council estimates it will manage more than 95,000 tonnes of residual waste annually by 2025 and currently 90% of this is treated using available capacity in waste treatment facilities within the UK. We would like, at this stage prior to commencing formal procurement, to seek input from the market as to what the appetite is for undertaking this service and to allow an opportunity to discuss options for the delivery of future provision. Some of the issues we are seeking input on include contract length, market capacity for treatment, waste transfer options, and options to improve the service. Please refer to the attached document for details on how to take part and join us in this early soft market engagement if you are interested in this opportunity. Once you express an interest in this opportunity and provide an email address to us, an MS Teams link will be provided for Stage 1 of this process on July 14th 2023. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/04d7a716-9ecc-496c-b88c-4d93619ab0b7 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 12 Jul 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WEST NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | NORTHAMPTON | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN1 1ED | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF24 West Northamptonshire | | Local authority | West Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Northampton North | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90514000 - Refuse recycling services ## Release History - 30 Jun 2023 at 13:02 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/04d7a716-9ecc-496c-b88c-4d93619ab0b7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/04d7a716-9ecc-496c-b88c-4d93619ab0b7 30th June 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/913fb042-0718-498e-8a80-ef7e64296a2a Soft Market Engagement Overview ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
