This process is currently at the planning stage and aims to provide valuable support in waste and resource management across the United Kingdom. Scheduled to potentially go live within a week, the tender involves several lots covering waste analysis, refuse, and waste related services. Organisations can apply for multiple lots, provided they meet the required expertise criteria. The procurement exercise is anticipated to run over eight years, with re-openings every two years allowing new suppliers to compete alongside existing ones. The final award is expected to be completed by 7th August 2025, following submission deadlines on 3rd August 2025. The procurement category is services, with an estimated value of £760,000, and requires electronic submissions in English. There are numerous opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management, resource analysis, and consulting services through this framework. Small and medium enterprises with experience in technical advisory roles in waste and resource management can leverage this opportunity to expand their operations. Innovative suppliers could provide services such as business waste collections, model development, materials recycling facilities expertise, waste prevention strategies, and managing other waste streams. The framework offers significant growth potential due to its open competition approach, enabling businesses to establish long-term collaboration opportunities across various waste management sectors. Suppliers equipped with strong technical capabilities, relevant experience, and are able to deliver high-quality services are well-suited to apply and thrive under this framework. ## Notice WRAP is preparing to launch a tender exercise for a framework to provide high quality technical advisor services to enable WRAP to provide valuable policy, support and evidence in the area of Waste and Resource Management, that can be applied to one or more of our core sector programme areas and one or more of our key stakeholder audiences. The intention is to go live with the tender within the next 7 days (but this not guaranteed). The work assigned through the framework involves providing technical advice and assumptions as well as a quality assurance role in projects that WRAP has scheduled in to deliver. The advisors appointed to the framework shall have: Expertise and experience in the sector and specialism they have indicated, Significant demonstrable skills, Evidence of acting as a lead technical advisor in the delivery of related projects, and Been involved in relevant published work. This is anticipated to be an Open Framework Agreement, which will operate for a maximum of 8 years. A new procurement exercise will be run prior to each 2-year re-opening window to allow new suppliers to apply. Existing suppliers will remain on the Framework for the full duration, subject to performance and continued eligibility. Re-openings will be conducted via a new procurement process under the Open Framework provisions of the UK Procurement Act 2023. Organisations may apply to be on more than one lot if they wish and they have relevant experience.
