## Summary

Oxford Direct Services Limited is initiating a tender for the provision of Transfer Station facilities, catering primarily to waste transfer station services and related refuse management, with key operations centred in Oxfordshire. As part of this public procurement process in the planning stage, preliminary market engagement is scheduled for November 2025, aimed at refining the tender framework.
