This procurement process, initiated via a tender, focuses on services related to refuse collection within the region identified as UKF24 in the United Kingdom. The Council is undertaking preliminary market engagement to inform its review of service options beyond May 2028, with the current contractual arrangements set to expire by then. Key deadlines include the submission of expressions of interest and the completion of a market engagement questionnaire by 12 March 2026, while a future notice is expected by 1 October 2026. This tender represents a significant opportunity for waste management and street cleansing companies to establish long-term partnerships with West Northamptonshire Council. The service provision, which spans a decade starting from 2028, is above threshold and invites innovative solutions to enhance efficiency and sustainability within public refuse collection services. Businesses specialising in waste collection services are well-suited to compete, especially those able to offer novel approaches to managing household waste and recycling as outlined in the legal framework provided under the UKPGA 2023/54. This engagement could pave the way for future business growth in public sector service provision. ## Notice West Northamptonshire Council has statutory duties relating to the collection and disposal of household waste and recycling and for keeping public land clear of litter and refuse. The current contractual arrangements are due to end in May 2028 and therefore the Council is currently reviewing its options for service provision from 2028 and is looking to have a very early engagement with the market which we hope will help inform the review and the recommendations that are made to the Council's Cabinet over the coming months. ### Planning Information To express your interest and support us with this market exercise please send an email to Waste.procurements@westnorthants.gov.uk or daryl.read@westnorthants.gov.uk and we will provide a copy of our questionnaire by return. By completing the questionnaire, your organisation will help inform the review and the recommendations that are made to the Council's Cabinet. Responses to the questionnaire will not be evaluated and participation in this process will not impact your ability to engage with the future tender opportunity. Due to the specialities within this procurement process it may be possible we will conduct a second phase of this PME. Either way your details will also be kept on file and you will be notified of any procurement which relates to these services. Please insert your answers within this word document (you are able to edit the space within the table for your answer) and return by 1600hrs 12 March 2026 via e-mail to Waste.procurements@westnorthants.gov.uk Thank you in advance for the information you provide and your engagement in this pre-procurement exercise. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017580-2026 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Feb 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Oct 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2028 - 31 Mar 2038 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WEST NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | NORTHAMPTON | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN1 1ED | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF24 West Northamptonshire | | Local authority | West Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Northampton North | | Delivery location | TLF24 West Northamptonshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90511000 - Refuse collection services ## Release History - 26 Feb 2026 at 16:48 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017580-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017580-2026 26th February 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.westnorthants.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
