This offers the opportunity to review and re-design services with the aim of placing the Council in a position whereby they may offer the treatment of food waste as an opportunity to the supply market with a contract commencing in November 2019. To assist this work we would like to engage with representatives from interested organisations to seek and gather views regarding the specification and procurement approach. This will take place through interested organisations completing a Soft Market Testing Questionnaire and then individual meetings being held during January 2019. Information gathered from this early engagement will inform the procurement approach and service specification. Participation in this exercise is voluntary and the subsequent tender will be open to all organisations whether or not they have been involved in this process. It is anticipated that the tender will be issued in March/April 2019. If you are interested in this opportunity please complete the Soft Market Testing Questionnaire which can be accessed through link above to the SourceDogg e-procurement system. Questionnaires are required to be completed by 12 noon on 21st January 2019. Further detail is provided in the Soft Market Testing Questionnaire. ## CPV classification Refuse and waste related services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/60242724-a849-4adc-b633-7d3e1aabc5d3) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
