## Summary

Hertfordshire County Council is currently in the planning stage for a procurement titled "Pressurised Cylinder Collection Contract- PME," targeting the service industry with specific focus on refuse disposal, treatment, and gas cylinders. The procurement is set in the Stevenage area, located in the UKH23 region of the United Kingdom. The preliminary market engagement (PME) is open for participation until the deadline of 27 March 2026, requiring interested parties to submit their Provider Questionnaire by 12.00 Noon on this date. Interested organisations should access the PME documentation through the Council’s e-tendering system, Supply Hertfordshire, and follow on-screen guidance. This initial engagement process aims to gather feedback to inform the future procurement options and requirements, yet does not hold any current commitment towards formal procurement.

This upcoming tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in services related to refuse disposal and gas cylinder operations. Engagement with Hertfordshire County Council through this process allows businesses to position themselves for potential future procurement opportunities, while providing valuable insights into the Council’s requirements. Organisations involved in logistics, waste management, or industrial service provision could find this contract particularly beneficial as a means to expand their operations within the sub-central government sector. Engaging early will help businesses to tailor their offerings to align with Hertfordshire County Council’s strategic needs, thus fostering growth potential and long-term collaboration opportunities.

## Notice

The Council is carrying out PME in relation to this project. The Council will consider the feedback received to help inform the Council's options, requirements and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process, and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PME shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PME shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the PME will be at each organisation's own cost. No expense in responding to this PME will be reimbursed by the Council. To access the PME documentation please visit the Council's e-tendering system Supply Hertfordshire, run by Intend at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/supplyhertfordshire and follow the on-screen guidance. In addition, to participate in this PME, organisations must return their completed Provider Questionnaire (Appendix A of the PME Document), together with any supporting documents, through the Correspondence area of this project by the return deadline of 12.00 Noon on 27 March 2026, as per the PME documentation and e-tendering system. Provider Questionnaires received after the deadline may not be reviewed at the Council's sole discretion. Please make sure that you have submitted your Provider Questionnaire following the instructions within the PME documentation and e-tendering system. The Council will not be held accountable for any errors made by an organisation in submitting their Provider Questionnaire. If you are experiencing problems with the Supply Hertfordshire website, In-Tend offer a help section which includes a dedicated UK support desk which can be contacted via email: support@in-tend.co.uk or Telephone: +44 1144070065 for any website/technical questions, Monday to Friday, 8:30-17:00.
