Hertfordshire County Council (the "Council") is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement ("PPME") for options for service contracts for Hertfordshire’s Residual Local Authority Collected Waste (LACW).The Council is seeking input from the market as to what might be the most attractive way of packaging and scoping any future opportunity for contracts for the treatment and/or disposal of Hertfordshire’s residual LACW. This input will help inform any resultant procurement process.This market consultation exercise will also provide an opportunity for the Council to obtain insight into how the market would prefer to approach delivery of services for Hertfordshire, provide an indication of the likely level of interest in any future tender opportunity that may arise.The Council will consider the feedback received to help inform the Council’s options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process.
