The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with bids due by 15th June 2022. The project is rooted in the West Midlands, particularly focused on addressing the significant waste issues in the local construction industry, which is the largest contributor to waste in the region. This open tender falls under the category of environmental engineering consultancy services and aims to start the contract period from 15th August 2022, concluding on 14th February 2023. This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy and construction waste management, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that can contribute to the development of innovative solutions for waste reduction and resource repurposing in the construction sector will be well-placed to compete. The overarching goal of the project is to establish systems that could revolutionise how waste materials are handled in the region, thereby offering significant growth potential for engaged businesses. ## Notice The WMCA are looking to a appoint a consultant to support in the production of a business case for the Zero Waste Construction Hub concept proposed by the Circular Economy Routemap. In June 2019, the WMCA declared a climate emergency and the WMCA Board agreed a target for the region to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2041. A 'green paper' was written to indicate how the region could take action in order to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2041. This was approved by the Combined Authority Board in January 2020 for consultation until 12th March 2020. The unfolding events of the pandemic resulted in the feedback from the consultation being combined into 'WM2041: a programme for implementing an environmental recovery' which was approved by the CA Board in June 2020, outlining the priority actions for a 'green recovery' from Covid-19. Since the approval of this paper the Environment & Energy Programme has developed into broad areas of Climate Change, Natural Capital, Energy Systems, and the Circular Economy, with corresponding plans or strategies that shape delivery activity. West Midlands Circular Economy Routemap One of the key work strands stemming from the programme was the development of a Circular Economy Routemap, outlining how the West Midlands can take a circular approach to resource efficiency that will benefit business, communities, and the public sector. This forms part of a wider approach to waste reduction and material and resource consumption across the region. Published in September 2021, the Routemap outlines strategic interventions the WMCA could take across three key sectors: - Circular Manufacturing - Circular Construction - Circular Food and the Sharing Economy The Routemap is available to download at https://beta.wmca.org.uk/what-we-do/environment-and-energy/creating-a-circular-economy/ The baseline analysis of regional material and waste flows conducted at the initial stage of the Routemap's development highlighted the issue of waste in the construction sector in the West Midlands, which is the largest consumer of materials and producer of waste in the region. Work has been done to ensure that waste is reused, recycled, and repurposed, however, the analysis showed that 4.5 million tonnes of waste still goes to landfill each year. Additionally, much of the waste that goes to landfill consists of usable materials, with it estimated that 13% of materials that arrive on building sites are never used. To help introduce more circularity into the sector, the Routemap proposed the creation of Zero Waste Construction Hubs, to recover useable materials in the construction industry. The overall aim of the project will be to identify how the materials exchange hub concept can benefit the West Midlands, its construction sector, and its residents and propose how they could be established in the region, starting with a pilot hub.
