In plain English

Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority wants a specialist firm to study what is actually in the household rubbish collected across the Liverpool City Region, sorting and measuring samples to show which materials are being thrown away. The results will guide future waste services from 2029 and help the region cut waste and carbon emissions.

What the buyer wants

• Design and carry out a statistically sound sampling and sorting study of household waste across the region, including the physical sorting of samples. • Analyse the results and produce a clear report on waste composition, with figures the Authority and its six councils can use for planning and carbon monitoring. • Present findings to the Authority and support the use of the data in its Future Waste Services programme.

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

A firm without a proven track record of physically sampling and sorting waste for a public body, or one that cannot meet the required insurance and health and safety standards, would most likely be excluded.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
