Operate a processing facility(s) which is, or will be, fully operational and able to accept Suffolk’s municipal food wastes by 31 March 2025.3. Indicate the dates of key events in a development programme for a processing facility which will be able to accept Suffolk’s municipal food wastes after 31 March 2025.This market engagement is in response to the Environment Act (2021) and Waste and Resource Strategy (2018) which is expected to mandate the weekly collection of food wastes from domestic households and certain businesses. A PME Questionnaire is available on request from waste.management@suffolk.gov.ukThe Council is keen to receive responses to help it structure any future procurement process in a way that is going to be suitable for, and attractive to, the market. The questionnaire seeks to ascertain market preferences on areas such as direct delivery, storage of materials at Transfer Stations, collection and haulage from Transfer Stations, material processing technologies, available capacity at your facility(s), potential gate fees, access to subsidies (such as the Green Gas Support Subsidy), end use of materials, carbon and environmental implications and procurement approach (specific lots vs whole county procurement).Responses to the questionnaire are requested by 5th February 2022. Depending on the nature and level of interest, Suffolk County Council may also hold one-to-one discussions with some or all of the companies that complete and return the PME Questionnaire (such meetings will be scheduled to take place between 07.02.2022 and 18.02.2022) to secure a more detailed understanding of the services to be provided.
