This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 1st December 2020. The project falls under the retail trade services industry category, specifically focusing on refuse recycling services, and is located in Norwich, East of England. Interested parties can register their interest by contacting the council before the deadline. This tender represents a significant opportunity for charities and small to medium enterprises (SMEs) experienced in operating reuse shops within recycling centres. Those businesses capable of managing the resale of around 250 tonnes of reusable materials annually at each site will be well-positioned to compete. By engaging with Norfolk County Council during the planned informal discussions, potential bidders can gain insights into the council's requirements and potentially secure a contract that supports both their growth and sustainability initiatives. ## Notice Norfolk County Council is developing two new recycling centres for Norwich due to open in Autumn 2021. Reuse shops will be based at each site enabling the resale of a variety of second-hand materials that are brought into recycling centres in usable condition. Norfolk County Council are keen to hear from charities who might be interested in operating one or both new reuse shops. The plans for the new recycling centres including reuse shops are available here: http://eplanning.norfolk.gov.uk/PlanAppDisp.aspx?AppNo=FUL/2020/0040 http://eplanning.norfolk.gov.uk/PlanAppDisp.aspx?AppNo=FUL/2020/0040 Elevations show the floor area and facilities at each shop. The shops are expected to handle approximately 250 tonnes of reusable materials per shop annually and have a designated parking area. This invitation has been issued purely as an information seeking exercise and any future procurement will be conducted in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. A response to this advert does not guarantee an invitation to tender for any future services which the County Council may advertise, nor that it will procure any such services or accept any proposals offered. The County Council would welcome the opportunity to talk informally with individual organisations and will be available for meetings during the fortnight commencing December 7th via Zoom or MS Teams. Ideally charities should have previous experience of operating reuse shops based at recycling centres.
