Tender description

Hertfordshire County Council (the ‘Council’) is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (‘PPME’) in relation to The Provision and Support of a Waste Management Data System. The Council will consider the feedback received to help inform the Council's options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation's own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the Council. The Waste Management Unit of Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) fulfils a number of statutory functions in its role as the Waste Disposal Authority (WDA) as defined in the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (EPA). Principally these include; the disposal of Local Authority Collected Waste from the 10 District and Borough Council's, provision of a network of Household Waste Recycling Centres and the payment of ‘Recycling Credits’ to the District and Borough Councils.
