Waste disposal site construction work

Tender description

Northamptonshire County Council is exploring alternative options and carrying out an options appraisal for the treatment of residual waste post 2020 when the initial term of the current contacts for the treatment and disposal of residual municipal waste are due to expire. This work will inform a recommendation to the Council's cabinet regarding its future strategy for procuring new arrangements for residual waste. Overall, the objective is to enable significant long term savings for the Council in an environmentally sustainable way. As part of this work the Council is seeking to gain a better understanding of the way the waste market operates and the appetite of the industry to tender for and implement options that the Council is considering. The purpose of this request for information is to gauge interest from the market and to investigate options mainly regarding the future treatment and disposal of approximately 170,000 tonnes per annum of County Council residual (i.e. black bag/non-recyclable) municipal waste from 2020. We are seeking your view as part of our options appraisal to examine the strategic opportunities available to the Council post 2020 to provide cost effective long term waste management solutions. We value the views of the supply chain and are therefore requesting information to help shape our approach to the market. This is not an invitation to tender, this is solely an information gathering exercise and no direct business will be awarded as a result of completing the questionnaire which is available upon request — see Para II.2.14. . Responding to this document does not advantage or disadvantage any supplier in a future procurement process.
