How to win: Preliminary Market Engagement Waste Disposal Contract

About this contract

The Authority is undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement to support the future re-procurement of its Waste Disposal Contract. The current contractual arrangements expire on 6 December 2029, and any replacement arrangement must be ready to commence from 7 December 2029. The purpose of this engagement is to understand market appetite, capacity, capability, delivery models, infrastructure requirements, commercial approaches, risks, mobilisation requirements and opportunities for innovation before the Authority confirms its preferred procurement strategy. The Authority is considering procurement because it must maintain statutory waste disposal arrangements beyond the expiry of the current contract. Early engagement will help inform the options appraisal, business case, procurement route, contract model and any further supplier engagement required before formal tender activity begins.
