## Summary

The Suffolk County Council is planning a tender process for the disposal of food waste, aiming to align services with the Environment Act. The contract will cover three geographical lots in North (Lowestoft), East (Ipswich), and West (Bury St Edmunds) Suffolk. Approximately 25,000-30,000 tonnes of food waste are expected to be collected annually. Interested providers are invited to participate in pre-market engagement to shape the procurement process. The communication of future notices is scheduled for 30th October 2023.

This tender by the Suffolk County Council presents an opportunity for service providers in the refuse and waste industry. Businesses offering services related to refuse collection, waste treatment, and recycling would be well-suited to compete. The procurement process is in the planning stage, allowing potential suppliers to engage early and contribute to designing a suitable contract for food waste disposal services in Suffolk.

## Notice

Currently no collection authorities in Suffolk collect food waste at the Kerbside. In order to align services with the Environment Act, Suffolk wishes to procure a contract that can accept and treat food waste from properties in Suffolk.We anticipate that the Contract will be let in 3 geographical lots, these being based in the north (Lowestoft), east (Ipswich) and west (Bury St Edmunds) of the county. Although this is what we foresee will be the best option, this has not been decided and we are open to discussion for best practice and service provision.We expect approximately 25,000-30,000 tonnes of food waste to be collected each year, however this tonnage is not guaranteed.We are issuing this PIN to inform the market of our intentions and invite all prospective service providers to participate in the pre-market engagement exercise to enable us to shape a suitable contract and procurement process. To request further information please email waste.management@suffolk.gov.uk
