## Summary

Derby City Council has successfully completed a procurement process for the "TD2280 - Management and Processing of Food Waste" contract. This procurement, employing an open procedure method, aims to establish a two-year contract starting from 30th March 2026 until 29th March 2028, with a potential extension of up to three more years subject to satisfactory performance. The contract entails the management and processing of approximately 4,845 tonnes of food waste using anaerobic digestion, aligning with the Environment Act 2021 and the UK's Simpler Recycling policy. This initiative will launch a new household food waste collection service on 31st March 2026 and is located in Derby's UKF11 region. The procurement stage has been finalized with Severn Trent Green Power Group Limited awarded the contract, valued at £900,000 (gross).

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses in the waste management and recycling sector, particularly those experienced in anaerobic digestion processes. As the procurement targets food waste management services, businesses that specialise in refuse and waste-related services are well-suited to compete and potentially benefit from future contract opportunities. SMEs, given the involvement of Severn Trent Green Power Group Limited, are encouraged to engage, especially those that can offer innovative waste processing solutions that enhance environmental sustainability and efficiency. The open procedure also suggests that competitive pricing and quality service delivery were central aspects, making it an attractive prospect for businesses aiming to expand their public sector portfolio.
