TD2457 - Waste Strategy and Procurement Advisor Support

Derby City Council is undertaking a Soft Market Testing exercise to inform the future procurement of specialist consultancy support for the development of a Waste Strategy and associated procurement and delivery programme for waste disposal services.

The Council is seeking feedback from organisations with experience in local authority waste management, strategy development, service transformation and waste procurement. The commission is expected to include a review of current arrangements, development of a long-term Waste Strategy, assessment of future infrastructure and service requirements, procurement planning, and support for the delivery and mobilisation of future contracts.

The engagement will help the Council understand market capability, delivery models, innovative approaches, indicative costs, programme timescales and procurement options. The information gathered will be used to shape the Council's future requirements and procurement strategy.

This Soft Market Testing exercise is for information gathering purposes only and does not constitute a call for competition or commit the Council to any future procurement
