This initiative is categorised under environmental services and focuses on promoting a circular economy within the East of England, specifically Norwich. The current stage of the procurement is in the tender phase, with a deadline for submission set for 18th August 2021. The total contract value is £10,000, with a minimum bid requirement of £5,000. The contract is expected to commence on 6th September 2021 and run until 7th March 2022, employing an open procurement method aimed at unlocking competitive opportunities for businesses. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental services, marketing, and consultancy within the circular economy sector. Companies that can demonstrate experience in engaging SMEs, enhancing resource efficiency, and developing upcycling solutions will be particularly well-suited to bid. The initiative seeks to support SMEs in transforming their waste streams into valuable resources, ultimately fostering collaboration in the business community and driving growth in sustainable practices. ## Notice Background: "Upcycling" is creating a new product of equal or greater value, from a waste product. This is to aid in creating a circular economy. The introduction of circular business cases to transform company waste into resources is a key enabler for the transition to a circular economy. Circular measures like re-design of products and processes and green procurement bring EU companies economic benefits of 3-8% of annual turnover. SMEs experience difficulties in adopting circular practices due to limited organisational, technical, and financial capacity. Only 25% of SME waste is currently repurposed. There is growing demand from SMEs for: - Knowledge of their waste streams and corresponding circular business cases - Solutions and tools to improve resource efficiency - Better cooperation among companies to organise sufficient scale and develop processes to upcycle waste Description of work: We are looking for a single agency/company that will help us engage and convince SMEs to participate in our next piloting phases. During the 6 months duration of this contract, there is also the expectation for the contractor to find new channels to expand and increase Upcycle Your Waste project and Norwich BID presence within the business community. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44aba64c-78ee-48b8-95fb-3f31531f63ed | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jul 2021 | | Submission deadline | 18 Aug 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Sep 2021 - 7 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORWICH BID LTD | | Locality | NORWICH | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR2 1DX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH5 Norfolk | | ITL 3 | TLH51 Norwich and East Norfolk | | Local authority | Norwich | | Electoral ward | Mancroft | | Westminster constituency | Norwich South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 79340000 - Advertising and marketing services - 79342000 - Marketing services - 90700000 - Environmental services - 90712000 - Environmental planning ## Release History - 26 Jul 2021 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44aba64c-78ee-48b8-95fb-3f31531f63ed ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44aba64c-78ee-48b8-95fb-3f31531f63ed 26th July 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL162402 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.norwichbid.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
