Waste Disposal Contract - Market Engagement Opportunity

The Authority is seeking preliminary market engagement to inform the re-procurement strategy for its Waste Disposal Contract. The current contract expires on 6 December 2029, with a replacement arrangement required to commence on 7 December 2029. Through this engagement, the Authority aims to understand market appetite, capacity, and capability across delivery models, infrastructure requirements, commercial approaches, risk management, mobilisation timelines, and innovation opportunities. This preliminary phase will support the development of an options appraisal, business case, and procurement strategy before formal tender activity begins. Suppliers are encouraged to share insights on their capabilities, capacity to service waste disposal requirements, available infrastructure, proposed delivery models, commercial terms, identified risks and mitigation strategies, mobilisation timeframes, and innovative solutions that could enhance service delivery. Early engagement will help shape the Authority's approach to maintaining statutory waste disposal arrangements and ensure the procurement route and contract model align with market realities and opportunities.
