The work is intended to support the council’s ongoing environmental and operational responsibilities for former landfill locations, and will replace its existing contract. The procurement is for one service package covering landfill management rather than the supply of goods or construction works. Suppliers should expect to deliver services at multiple closed landfill sites within Oxfordshire. The council is using preliminary market engagement to understand how the requirement can be specified and delivered in practice, with the aim of developing a workable specification and achieving value for money. This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has announced its intention to re-procure but has not invited tenders. It expects to use a competitive tender for one lot, with the procurement above the relevant threshold. The proposed contract is expected to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with an option to renew or extend to 31 March 2032. Its estimated value is £750,000 excluding VAT and £900,000 including VAT. The council plans to publish the next notice on 6 November 2026. As part of market engagement, it is offering one-hour meetings with the project team on 19 and 20 October 2026; requests for these sessions are due by 23 October 2026. This will suit suppliers experienced in managing closed landfill sites and providing the associated monitoring and maintenance services over a sustained period. Relevant businesses are likely to include environmental contractors, landfill aftercare specialists and waste-management operators with the operational capability to inspect sites, monitor environmental conditions, maintain site infrastructure and respond to ongoing management requirements. The council has identified the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist firms may be well placed to contribute, either as a lead supplier or through a delivery partnership. Businesses can use the planned market-engagement discussions to explain practical delivery models, test the proposed specification and help shape requirements before the future tender is issued. ## Notice The Council will be re-procuring its contract for the management, monitoring and maintenance of closed landfill sites in Oxfordshire. This PME notice sets out the proposed structure and duration of the contract. We are seeking engagement with interested parties who may tender for and deliver this service. The market engagement process will allow the council to develop and refine the contract specification ensuring it is deliverable by suppliers and represents value for money for the council. ### Planning Information As part of the PME process, we are offering each prospective bidder a one-hour meeting on Microsoft Teams with the project team to learn about your perspective and thoughts. We will then use your feedback to inform our decision making as we finalise the specification for the tender.
