## Summary

Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council intends to procure a waste management service for the collection, transportation and recovery of waste wood from its household recycling centres. The requirement is a service covering the movement of wood waste from council-operated recycling facilities to recovery arrangements. It falls within waste wood and wider refuse and waste-related services (CPV 03416000 and 90500000). Delivery will take place at the council’s household recycling centres in the Lisburn and Castlereagh area of Northern Ireland. This is a council-wide operational requirement rather than a supply-only purchase, and is relevant to businesses that manage wood waste, provide waste transport, or arrange recovery and recycling services for public-sector sites.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a pre-market engagement exercise, not a formal tender. The council has already completed a preliminary market engagement exercise, with supplier responses recorded on 29 January 2026. It is using the exercise to assess market interest and gather information before deciding how to proceed with a potential procurement. The planned contract period is expected to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029. Suppliers were asked to complete a market-engagement questionnaire by 12 noon on the stated closing date. Information supplied during engagement will not be used to evaluate any future tender, and participation will not determine eligibility for a later competition.

The requirement is likely to suit established waste management and recycling contractors with the operational capacity to service council household recycling centres, collect segregated waste wood, transport material safely and arrange reliable recovery routes. Relevant experience may include managing wood waste streams, coordinating scheduled collections across multiple public sites, operating suitable vehicles and equipment, and maintaining traceability from collection through to recovery. Businesses that combine transport with recycling or recovery facilities may be particularly well placed, as may specialist operators able to provide the full service through an integrated supply chain. The market engagement gives prospective providers an opportunity to understand the council’s needs and prepare for a possible future procurement.

## Notice

***Pre Market Engagement Only.*** Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process for the Collection, Transportation and Recovery of Waste Wood from Council Household Recycling Centres. LCCC wishes to engage with the market at this stage to establish the level of market interest and to gather information that will be beneficial in the tendering process. Suppliers who wish to participate in the market engagement exercise should complete the pre-market engagement questionnaire provided. Further information including the questionnaire can be downloaded from the CfT Documents section. The questionnaire must be completed and submitted no later than 12 Noon on the closing date detailed stated. There are no formal tender documents to be completed other than the questionnaire. Any information gathered will NOT be considered in any future tender evaluation exercise. Participation or non-participation in this pre-procurement market engagement shall not prevent any supplier/provider from participating in a potential procurement process nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any supplier/ provider at an advantage in any forthcoming procurement process. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and there is no commitment, at this stage to carrying out such a process.
