## Summary

Teignbridge District Council is engaging the market to upgrade the sortline equipment at their depot in South West England. This planning stage procurement process, titled "Early Market Engagement - Sortline for Teignbridge District Council Depot," falls under the industrial machinery category (CPV 42000000). The council is focused on enhancing their kerbside service by adding the collection of soft plastics and film by March 2027. This initiative also aims to prepare for significant works at the bulking station, including the installation of a fireproof wall. Interested parties must note the engagement end date is 10 January 2025.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in industrial machinery, particularly those geared towards recycling and waste management systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate. The project involves replacing the existing sortline setup with a full system capable of handling current materials alongside new soft plastics and film. Companies with expertise in innovative sorting solutions and an ability to provide comprehensive systems will be well-suited to compete in this procurement process aimed at improving the recyclability of materials within Teignbridge District.

## Notice

As the simpler recycling regulations are due to be implemented by March 2027, we are required to add the collection of soft plastics and film to our kerbside service by this date, there are also significant works due to start on the bulking station within the next year, so it is considered the best time to upgrade the sortline equipment as the equipment needs to be moved to allow the construction of a fireproof wall behind. We are looking to replace the whole current sortline setup and so will need a full system capable of sorting the current 3 materials plus soft plastics and film.
