This sits in the upper-middle of the Environment & Waste band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 11,894 valued Environment & Waste tenders in our corpus.
Torbay Council publishes Environment & Waste work continuously — 25 notices, roughly one every 79 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
10% of Torbay Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
