## Summary

Somerset Council is in the planning stage of a significant procurement process to secure waste collection and recycling services across the county. This future tender covers the refuse and waste-related services industry, with particular focus in the region of UKK23 in the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised under services and the gross value is estimated at £684 million. Businesses interested in this opportunity should note a planned contract period starting from 27 March 2030 and lasting until 26 March 2050. A future notice is expected to be published by 30 September 2027.
