The procurement process titled "Bulky Matters" is an initiative by Blackpool Council and Wyre Council, aimed at providing refuse and waste-related services, specifically for the collection of bulky household items. The tender is currently in the 'active' stage and is being conducted through an open procedure. The anticipated contract term is from 1 October 2021 to 30 September 2023, with options for a two-year extension, subject to budget availability.
