## Summary

Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority commissioned education and training services to support its circular economy and zero-waste objectives. The work covers projects for educators and school staff across the Liverpool City Region, including education on waste prevention, reuse, repair, avoiding waste and the circular economy. Its purpose is to encourage lasting changes in attitudes and resource-use behaviour within schools, moving away from single-use and throwaway consumption. The authority works with district council partners on recycling, waste prevention and the safe and effective disposal of household waste for residents of Merseyside and Halton. This is a services opportunity focused on behaviour-change education, engagement with education professionals and the development or delivery of learning activities for schools.

The procurement is complete following an open procedure. Bids closed on 4 June 2026 at 12 noon. The contract was awarded on 7 July 2026 to Farm Urban for £46,581.17 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 7 July 2026 to 31 March 2028. Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority is the buyer. The requirement was treated as education and training services and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published outcome identifies one active award to Farm Urban. The procurement was evaluated through the open-procedure route; the available process information does not set out separate quality, price or other scoring criteria.

This requirement demonstrates demand from Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority for practical circular economy and zero-waste education aimed at educators and school staff. Suppliers likely to be credible for a future requirement of this kind would need to design and deliver engaging learning projects, communicate clearly with education professionals and work effectively with schools across the Liverpool City Region. Relevant capability includes understanding waste prevention, reuse, repair, resource efficiency and behaviour change, alongside the ability to turn these themes into useful training or educational activities. Experience of community or school engagement would support delivery, as would the capacity to coordinate work across multiple local authority areas and demonstrate meaningful changes in school waste and resource behaviours. The opportunity is accessible in principle to SMEs and VCSEs.

## Notice

Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority (MWDA) is a statutory waste disposal authority which, with its District Council partners, takes a lead in advocating and delivering recycling, waste prevention, and the safe and effective disposal of household waste for the residents of Merseyside and Halton (together, the 'Liverpool City Region'). MRWA is committed to achieving the targets of zero waste and net zero carbon, to achieve these targets we believe a whole systems change is needed. This involves changing behaviours and attitudes away from single use, throw away consumerism towards a culture of reuse, repair and avoiding waste where possible. A key aspect of behaviour change is education, and studies show that information delivered academically, culturally and in communities has more benefits and provides long-term changes to behaviours. MWDA is looking to commission an organisation to deliver circular economy and zero waste?teacher?education projects to?educators across the Liverpool City Region. The education project will focus on engaging with and educating educators and school staff across the Liverpool City Region on zero waste and the circular economy to encourage a positive shift in waste and resource behaviours within schools.
