RCC-1652 Dry Mixed Recycling Treatment

Rutland County Council (the Council) is undertaking a soft market testing exercise to inform the development of a future procurement for Dry Mixed Recycling (DMR) Treatment and Processing Services.

This soft market test relates solely to the treatment and processing of Dry Mixed Recycling and does not include collection services.

The purpose of this engagement is to seek feedback from the market to help shape a procurement that is deliverable, commercially viable and attractive to suppliers, while ensuring continuity of service and compliance with relevant legislation.

The information gathered through this soft market test will be used to refine the procurement approach, timetable and contract documentation. Participation in this exercise will not form part of any future tender evaluation, and no supplier will be advantaged or disadvantaged by responding.

Please note that this notice does not commit the Council to any future competition or award.

Providers are invited to provide a response to the soft market questionnaire that can be accessed via the below link:
