This initiative, aimed at the research and development services sector, focuses on the East of England. Currently in the Tender stage, the procurement opportunity has a closing date for submissions set for 6th January 2022, with the contract period scheduled to commence on 24th January 2022 and conclude on 30th October 2022. The total contract value is £49,000, with a minimum value of £45,000, and it is classified as an open procedure for an initiative deemed suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs). This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in sustainable practices, particularly those focused on recycling and circular economy initiatives. Companies that specialise in waste collection, recycling technologies, or the production of plastic products from recycled materials would be particularly well-suited to participate. Engaging with local tourism, leisure, and hospitality sectors, the contractor will help create an infrastructure for post-consumer plastics collections, fostering community involvement and potential collaborative partnerships within the Great Yarmouth area. ## Notice Norfolk County Council (NCC) and Great Yarmouth Borough Council (GYBC) are seeking a contractor to develop an initiative for the local collection and recycling of post-consumer plastics into plastic products. This will support the delivery of the Interreg 2 Seas project FACET (Facilitate the Adoption of Circular Entrepreneurship in the Tourism and leisure sector). It is felt that the nature of this initiative may lend itself to the development or extension of an existing social enterprise or community interest company. NCC and GYBC are looking for a contractor to work with the Great Yarmouth tourism, leisure & hospitality business community and the Borough Council, to arrange and collect post-consumer plastics for use in production. The work will take place in the following phases: Phase 1: Background research and community engagement Phase 2: Development of a business plan Phase 3: Upon approval of the business plan by GYBC and NCC, the contractor will launch a pilot scheme Additional information: This procurement will be managed electronically via the Council's e-procurement system.
