## Summary

The Hertfordshire County Council is planning a Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (PPME) process for the provision of Organic Waste Treatment/Composting from 2024 and 2025. This opportunity falls under the industry category of Sewage, refuse, cleaning, and environmental services. Interested organisations must submit their Supplier Questionnaire through the In-Tend system by the deadline of 12.00 Noon on 17th February 2023. The Council is seeking input from the market to inform future procurement decisions and options.

This tender by the Hertfordshire County Council presents an opportunity for businesses involved in organic waste treatment and composting services to engage in potential future procurement. The Council aims to gather feedback through the PPME process, which will help in shaping the scope of future contracts. Interested suppliers can participate in the PPME, which is at their own cost. No expenses will be reimbursed. The Council is considering options for awarding contracts in early 2024 based on the feedback received.

## Notice

Currently, the Council manages four contracts for the treatment of organic waste. These include Biogen (Hoddesdon AD and Lackford, Suffolk open windrow), Cumberlow Green (IVC), Elleteq (Cattlegate Farm open windrow), and Severn Trent Green Power (STGP (Formerly Agrivert) - South Mimms IVC and Coursers Farm/North London AD). These contracts are due to expire between October 2024 and the beginning of April 2025 and therefore the re-procurement of these contracts will need to commence in 2023 for award in early 2024. Details of current organic services can be seen in Table 2 below and actual tonnages for 2021-22 can be seen in Table 3 of the PPME Documentation.Please log in to https://in-tendhost.co.uk/supplyhertfordshire/aspx/Home to review the PPME Document for full detailsAlthough we have ticked 'No' to whether or not this opportunity will be split in to Lots this is still under consideration

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Hertfordshire County Council (the "Council") is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement ("PPME") for the provision of Organic Waste Treatment/Composting from 2024 and 2025. The Council is seeking input from the market as to what might be the most attractive way of packaging and scoping any future opportunity for contracts. This input will help inform any resultant procurement process.The Council will consider the feedback received to help inform the Council's options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process, and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation's own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the Council.Further information can be found within the attached documentation. You are invited to submit a completed questionnaire by 12 noon on 17th February 2023
