## Summary

Newcastle City Council is initiating the planning stage of a procurement process for a contract entitled "Food Waste Collection". This procurement falls under the services category within the refuse disposal and treatment industry, specifically involving the provision of locations for food waste deposition, bulk hauling, and processing through Anaerobic Digestion. The process uses an open procedure, with the procurement set to commence on 1st April 2026 and conclude by 31st March 2031, with a possible extension until 2036. The council seeks service delivery in the UKC region, with a vital upcoming communication date set for 1st October 2025. This initiative aligns with legal guidelines under the UK's 2023/54 legislation.
