Description

Cotswold District Council (CDC) is seeking to engage the market to inform future procurements for transfer station and brokerage services. These services support the household recycling and food waste collection service that is delivered by Ubico. This engagement is intended to test proposed approaches to an upcoming procurement together with the longer-term strategy for transfer station provision, with consideration of the level of change that is likely in Gloucestershire in the medium to long-term due to Local Government Organisation (LGR) and policy development impacting the waste sector. Participation in this engagement is voluntary and will not form part of any future procurement process or confer any advantage. CDC does not intend to issue clarifications in response to this engagement. Suppliers are therefore invited to respond based on the information provided.
