## Summary

Hampshire County Council, alongside Portsmouth City Council and Southampton City Council, is directing a significant procurement initiative titled "Municipal Resource Management Services 2031-2040," focused on refuse and waste-related services. This procurement plays a vital part within the sub-central government's devolution fast track programme. The contract aims to cover prevention, recycling, and disposal of municipal waste throughout the region categorised as UKJ. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with market engagement scheduled between 2025 and 2026 and the procurement strategy development in 2026 leading up to the tender initiation in 2027. The contract period is set to start on 1 January 2031 and continue until 31 December 2040, with the potential for extensions. The gross value of the planned contract is £1.2 billion, highlighting its considerable scale and impact.

This contract provides a substantial growth opportunity for businesses specialising in waste management services, especially those prioritising sustainability, technological integration, and innovative solutions. Discussions on structuring a fully integrated contract and application of the waste hierarchy present avenues for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary and Community Sector Enterprises (VCSEs) to participate, particularly due to their adeptness in flexible, forward-thinking approaches. Business entities equipped to handle risk and adapt to changes brought by fast track devolution will be particularly well-suited. By engaging in this procurement process, businesses can extend their influence across a dynamic regional landscape while contributing to the environmental, social, and economic betterment of the region.
