The Council would therefore welcome the views of suppliers on the questions set out below.

This will be approximately 5,120 tonnes per annum (not guaranteed) and will include any items identified as food waste as per the specification. There will be daily collections, the numbers of which may be variable. The proposed initial contract term is 36 months with a proposed contract commencement date of February 2026, with an option to extend for a further 24 months (1 period of 24 months) for a potential total contract term of 60 months. Estimated contract spend for the initial 36 months is £228,000 and £380,000 across the potential 60-months contract term. The Council anticipates receiving a significant rebate based on the volume of food waste collected and recycled.
