This consultation is crucial for understanding current market solutions and interest. The project is categorised under environmental protection and services, with the council's headquarters located in Inverness, UK. Interested parties should submit their responses by 1 June 2019, as information on service provisions will greatly influence the structure of upcoming procurement exercises. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in waste management, environmental services, and the construction of materials recovery facilities. Companies capable of providing innovative waste treatment solutions or operating waste management services will find this procurement process particularly relevant. As the Highland Council seeks to bridge the gap until the implementation of a long-term waste disposal solution, firms that can demonstrate expertise in designing and constructing waste treatment facilities are well-suited to engage in this market consultation and subsequent contract opportunities. ## Notice From the 1 January 2021, landfill operations in Scotland will be prohibited from accepting biodegradable municipal waste. The Highland Council is engaged in the development of a long-term residual waste solution, as part of this review, and to ensure that any future procurement exercise is suitably structured, it has been determined that market consultation would be helpful to inform the Council on current solutions, developments and interest within the marketplace which can bridge the gap from the introduction of the landfill ban and any future long-term solution. An information leaflet providing some background information and a questionnaire has been attached to this PIN and we would greatly appreciate your input ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Highland Council currently operates externally sourced Waste Management Service contracts for the treatment and disposal of approximately 81,800 tonnes of the residual element of municipal solid waste (MSW) across the Highlands utilising our own and third party landfill sites. From the 1 January 2021, landfill operations in Scotland will be prohibited from accepting biodegradable municipal waste. The Highland Council is engaged in the development of a long-term residual waste solution therefore this market consultation is intended to explore options for a service provision which can bridge the gap from the introduction of the landfill ban and any future long-term solution. The Highland Council has identified a preferred site for the development of a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in Inverness. The MRF is intended to produce refuse derived fuel from residual MSW arising from the whole of the Highland Council area. A Planning application is due to be submitted shortly and it is anticipated that the determination of the application will be known in early 2019. It is intended that the site and any planning consent will be made available to bidding contractors. Options currently available to the Council are: i)A contract consisting of the design and construction of the MRF and the inclusion of the operation of the MRF for the treatment and disposal of residual waste for The Highland Council; or ii)A contract for the design and construction of the MRF with a separate contract put in place for the operation of the MRF for the treatment and disposal of residual waste for The Highland Council; As part of this review, and to ensure that any procurement exercise is suitably structured, it has been determined that market consultation would be helpful to inform the Council on current solutions, developments and interest within the marketplace.
