## Summary

Durham County Council has concluded the procurement process titled "DCC Caddy Liner Further Competition," catering to the waste management industry. This contract focuses on the supply and delivery of compostable liners for kitchen food waste caddies, complying with EN 13432 certification standards. Cromwell Polythene Limited has been awarded this contract on 22 April 2026, with deliveries scheduled from 5 May to 31 October 2026.

Engaging in such processes can bolster a business’s portfolio and enhance its market presence in the environmental and waste management sector.
