It is a predominantly rural county with around 95% of the county classified as such. It has the third lowest population density of any English county (89 people per square kilometre) with large areas of picturesque and relatively unspoilt countryside. From 2024 there will be approximately 89000 residential households and 2100 commercial properties.\\r \\r Herefordshire Council adopted an ambitious new Integrated Waste Management Strategy in July 2021 with far reaching targets to increase recycling and reuse and to end waste going to landfill. Our collection model ambition will see new collection services and provide increased recycling capacity for residents whilst reducing the frequency of collection for residual waste.\\r \\r Please note: the estimated maximum value of this contract includes for all extension options (20 years) and an 8% compound inflation rate. Clearly it is impossible to calculate a more accurate figure given the contract term and current fluctuations in terms of inflation. \\r \\r The Council welcomes submissions from all appropriate suppliers and the tender documentation can be accessed via our e-tender portal at [supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk](https://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk) (search under Herefordshire Council) Additional information: The Council welcomes submissions from all appropriate suppliers and the tender documentation can be accessed via our e-tender portal at [supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk](https://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk) (search under Herefordshire Council) Read full description ## CPV classification Refuse disposal and treatment Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/93830665-22f6-4228-9c3c-d97d11db74c6) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
