A PME Questionnaire is available on request from waste.management@suffolk.gov.ukThe Council is keen to receive responses to help it structure any future procurement process in a way that is going to be suitable for, and attractive to, the market. The questionnaire seeks to ascertain market preferences on areas such as direct delivery, storage of materials at Transfer Stations, collection and haulage from Transfer Stations, material processing technologies, available capacity at your facility(s), potential gate fees, access to subsidies (such as the Green Gas Support Subsidy), end use of materials, carbon and environmental implications and procurement approach (specific lots vs whole county procurement).Responses to the questionnaire are requested by 5th February 2022.
