## Summary

The Rutland County Council is in the planning stages of procuring a long-term Consolidated Waste Contract. This initiative, focused on refuse and waste-related services, aims to integrate household waste collection, recycling operations, and other related services. The Council, located in Oakham, UK, plans to engage with potential suppliers through an Industry Day scheduled for 4th November 2025. The preliminary market engagement activities are underway to inform the procurement approach, with submissions for attending the Industry Day closing by 24th October 2025. The contract is projected to commence in April 2028, with the opportunity to extend beyond the initial eight-year term. This procurement offers services above the UK-regulated threshold, categorised under the main procurement category of services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management services, particularly those focusing on comprehensive solutions for waste collection, recycling, and treatment. As the procurement includes the introduction of new services such as food waste collection starting March 2026, companies with innovation in these areas may find competitive advantages. Businesses capable of addressing statutory and discretionary waste management needs should consider participating, as this contract encompasses extensive service delivery across the UK, thereby fostering business growth and partnership potential with sub-central government authorities like Rutland County Council.

## Notice

Rutland County Council intends to procure a long-term Consolidated Waste Contract bringing together household waste and recycling collections, HWRC operations and haulage, street cleansing, and treatment of residual waste, dry mixed recycling, green waste, food waste (new service from March 2026), and clinical waste. The initial contract term is expected to be eight years from April 2028, with an option to extend by up to two years.

### Planning Information

The Council is undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement to inform the development of the procurement approach and specification. As part of this engagement, the Council will host an Industry Day on Tuesday 4th November 2025 at Rutland County Council, Catmose, Oakham, Rutland, LE15 6HP (arrival 9.30am for a 10.00am start; event closes at approximately 1.00pm).
This event will include breakout sessions, allowing suppliers to engage with the Council on a one-to-one basis. This will give organisations the opportunity to share commercially sensitive information in confidence, rather than in an open forum. All information shared during these discussions will be treated as confidential and used solely to inform the development of the Council's waste management specification.
Suppliers interested in attending must complete the Invitation to Industry Day Registration Form and submit it via ProContract (www.eastmidstenders.org) no later than 12 noon on 24th October 2025. Attendance is limited to two representatives per organisation.
