This tender falls under the industry category of environmental services, with specific focus areas including sewage, refuse, cleaning, and transport services. The contract is set to commence on 20th April 2026, with a six-month duration, and has the potential for a six-month extension. Interested suppliers must register their interest and submit responses by 17th February 2026. The Council requires a guaranteed minimum recycling rate of 80%, and the communication of future notices is scheduled for 9th March 2026. This market engagement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in waste management and recycling, especially those equipped to handle fluctuating volumes and provide high recycling rates. Companies experienced in environmental services and possessing robust transport logistics can benefit from such projects. The contract value is substantial, at £450,000, positioning it as an attractive prospect for companies capable of offering cost-effective and sustainable solutions. Engaging in this preliminary phase does not affect future participation, providing an open field for companies wishing to expand their presence in the public sector's green initiatives. ## Notice Cardiff Council is looking to secure a 6 month recycling contract (with an optional 6-month extension) for the collection and processing of the Household Waste Recycling Centre Wood.
