## Summary

Suffolk County Council is initiating a pre-procurement market engagement process for the operation of 11 Recycling Centres (Civic Amenity Sites) in the East of England, focusing on refuse and waste-related services. This planning stage follows the publication of an early engagement notice on 14 March 2018. Interested parties are invited to participate in private question and answer sessions from 9 to 20 April 2018, with the final date for requests for information packs set for 6 April 2018. The procurement process is expected to commence in mid-2018, with operations anticipated to begin in May 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the waste and recycling sector, particularly for those skilled in operating civic amenity sites and handling recyclable materials. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and local operators are well-suited to compete, as the engagement is designed to attract firms that can demonstrate capacity in both service provision and logistics related to the marketing of mixed recyclate. Engaging in this procurement could facilitate business growth, as successful bidders may establish long-term contracts for multiple sites across the region.
