This tender falls under the services category and is currently in the planning stage. The council seeks to engage with market participants to determine the current market position related to this project. Interested parties are encouraged to register interest by contacting Chris Gannon before 29th January 2020, with virtual engagement sessions expected to be scheduled following the expression of interest. The future notice date is set for 1st October 2021. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in environmental services, particularly those specialising in material recovery and recycling technologies. Companies that focus on sustainability and waste management solutions will find this initiative aligns with their capabilities. Engaging in this process could lead to long-term agreements and partnerships with local authorities committed to contributing to Scotland's circular economy and climate change objectives. ## Notice A collectively number of Local Authorities are looking to determine what the current market position is in regard to the potential development of an integrated polymer recycling facility, here in Scotland. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Following recent dialogue between a number of Scottish Local Authorities, which includes North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire, East Dunbartonshire, East Renfrewshire, North Ayrshire, and Renfrewshire, we are collectively looking to determine what the current market position is in regard to the potential development of an integrated polymer recycling facility, here in Scotland. This would contribute to the Scottish Government' circular economy ambitions, addressing the declared Climate Change Emergency with reduced emissions in line with Net-Zero and Zero-waste ambitions. As a minimum commitment, it has been identified that a long term agreement would need to be established in order to help facilitate this agreement. To this end, it is our intention to engage with the market and in particular Material Recovery Facilities (MRF), in order to have further dialogue in the form of virtual sessions, to discuss in more detail the proposed project and determine what the market implications may be. To formally record a note of interest and to confirm acceptance to attend virtual sessions with representatives on behalf of the abovementioned Local Authorities, please email Chris Gannon at gannonc@northlan.gov.uk. An agenda will be provided prior to the sessions (including questions), which will detail the potential dialogue of the discussions. A minute will also be taken and agreed with the participating parties. On recording a note of interest by Friday 29th January 2020, date and time of the virtual sessions shall be provided to those interested parties when they contact Chris Gannon on the aforementioned details. Any future process shall be identified via a regulated procurement process, which at the moment, the details have yet to be determined. Each Authority will also need to determine their own actions as a consequence of these sessions. The outcome of the abovementioned sessions will likely contribute to the details of any future agreement. If you require any further information in relation to this particular Prior Information Notice, please do not hesitate to contact Chris Gannon on the details above. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN403749 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Jan 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Oct 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | MOTHERWELL | | Post town | Motherwell | | Postcode | ML1 1AB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM34 North Lanarkshire | | Local authority | North Lanarkshire | | Electoral ward | Motherwell South East and Ravenscraig | | Westminster constituency | Motherwell, Wishaw and Carluke | | Delivery location | TLM81 East Dunbartonshire, West Dunbartonshire, and Helensburgh and Lomond, TLM83 Inverclyde, East Renfrewshire, and Renfrewshire, TLM84 North Lanarkshire, TLM93 North Ayrshire and East Ayrshire, TLM95 South Lanarkshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90500000 - Refuse and waste related services ## Release History - 11 Jan 2021 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN403749 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN403749 Circular Economy Strategic Investment Initiative - A collectively number of Local Authorities are looking to determine what the current market position is in regard to the potential development of an integrated polymer recycling facility, here in Scotland. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000640655 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=640655 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
