## Summary

Liverpool John Moores University is in the planning stage of its procurement process for the provision of combined waste disposal services across its sites. This involves pre-market engagement to understand the capacity, capability, and methods of waste management services available. The engagement document was published on 27 March 2025, with responses due by 13 April 2025. This tender falls under the services sector and covers various regions across the United Kingdom. The contract, once awarded, is expected to start on 1 November 2025 and could run until 31 October 2029 if extended. This opportunity is aligned with public authority directives and aims to streamline waste segregation, recycling, and reduction of waste to fuel (RDF) output.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in refuse and waste-related services, particularly those with expertise in waste segregation, recycling, and sustainable waste management. It is an excellent opportunity for both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to expand their market presence and secure long-term contracts. Companies equipped with the capability to manage waste directly or through subcontracting, and those who can bring innovative solutions to maximize recycling while providing social and environmental benefits, are well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

LJMU Estate Development and Campus Services Teams manage waste disposal and recycling services as part of the service portfolio offering. As a result of increasing waste segregation and simpler recycling initiatives, there are several high and low volume materials that vary in terms of tonnage and value. Segregation is also likely to create several niche or low-level volumes of materials. A list of waste produced is included in this RFI and it is expected that specific lots will be considered as part of the tender process. Pre-market engagement is necessary to understand: * relevant capacity and capability of service. * the extent of directly managed vs subcontracted waste management provision. * how waste is collected, weighed and segregated to maximise the potential for recycling; and re-use, and reduce waste to fuel (RDF) output. * Social and engagement benefits.
