## Summary

Colchester Borough Council is seeking contractors for the "Handling of Recyclable Materials" tender in the refuse recycling services sector.

The procurement follows an open procedure, inviting a broad range of suppliers to participate.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the waste management and recycling sectors, due to the estimated annual collection of 10,700 tonnes of materials.
