This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a key milestone: the engagement end date set for 21st January 2019. The project is categorised under refuse and waste-related services, and potential contracts are envisioned to commence in November 2019. Interested parties should complete the Soft Market Testing Questionnaire by noon on the deadline date to influence the forthcoming tender issuance expected in March or April 2019. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on waste management and recycling services, particularly those skilled in organic waste treatment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) stand well-positioned to compete, especially those that can demonstrate innovative approaches to waste treatment and management. Engaging in this soft market test allows businesses to share insights and potentially shape the service specifications that Peterborough City Council will adopt, enhancing their chances of winning the subsequent contract. ## Notice Peterborough City Council is developing a tender for the treatment of Organic/Garden Waste that is separately collected from the kerbside. This offers the opportunity to review and re-design services with the aim of placing the Council in a position whereby they may offer the treatment of organic/garden waste as an opportunity to the supply market with a contract commencing in November 2019. To assist this work we would like to engage with representatives from interested organisations to seek and gather views regarding the specification and procurement approach. This will take place through interested organisations completing a Soft Market Testing Questionnaire and then individual meetings being held during January 2019. Information gathered from this early engagement will inform the procurement approach and service specification. Participation in this exercise is voluntary and the subsequent tender will be open to all organisations whether or not they have been involved in this process. It is anticipated that the tender will be issued in March/April 2019. If you are interested in this opportunity please complete the Soft Market Testing Questionnaire which can be accessed through link above to the SourceDogg e-procurement system. Questionnaires are required to be completed by 12 noon on 21st January 2019. Further detail is provided in the Soft Market Testing Questionnaire. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0c01c125-a0f7-4079-afc5-f53d13416365 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 21 Jan 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | PETERBOROUGH CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | PETERBOROUGH | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE2 8TY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH41 Peterborough | | Local authority | Peterborough | | Electoral ward | Fletton and Stanground | | Westminster constituency | North West Cambridgeshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90500000 - Refuse and waste related services ## Release History - 7 Dec 2018 at 14:10 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0c01c125-a0f7-4079-afc5-f53d13416365 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0c01c125-a0f7-4079-afc5-f53d13416365 7th December 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://secure.sourcedogg.com/profile/57fad8bb-8f6a-4ab1-afeb-531e2ec7e009/requests/25153 Soft Market Test for the Provision of Organic/Garden Waste Treatment Services ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
