This initiative falls within the services industry, specifically related to "Sludge disposal services," and targets businesses in the UK, particularly in the region of Warrington, where the contracting authority is based. The process is currently in the planning stage, with a deadline for feedback set for 5pm on 15 July 2022. Additionally, a future notice is scheduled for 20 September 2022, marking an important date for interested parties. This consultation presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in waste management, environmental services, and bioresources. Companies that specialise in non-hazardous waste treatment, sludge removal, and transport services are particularly well-suited to engage in this tender process. By participating, these businesses can help shape the finalised Bid Assessment Framework, thereby fostering a more transparent and competitive procurement environment, which could lead to enhanced service offerings and strategic partnerships in the bioresources sector. ## Notice Following Ofwat's guidance (published 10 February, 2022) requiring all UK sewerage companies to introduce a Bid Assessment Framework (BAF) for Bioresources Services, United Utilities (UU) are sharing draft BAF documentation to consult with stakeholders in the market. The aim is that the introduction of bid assessment frameworks will complement the existing market structure and will help ensure that companies procure bioresources services in a way that is transparent and promotes the market. UU wish consult publicly on a draft of their bid assessment framework. This would give potentially affected stakeholders an opportunity to comment and will mean that the finalised frameworks should better reflect prospective bidders' needs. We invite stakeholders to comment on the draft bioresources services bid assessment framework, and associated evaluation criteria by no later than 5pm on 15 July 2022.
