The Wolverhampton Energy from Waste (EFW) plant is owned by the council, and came back
into council operation in February 2023 following a 25 year Operate & Maintain (O&M)

The Framework will be essentially a select list of service providers, which will allow for either
Direct Awards or Further Competition.
The intention is to appoint a maximum of 3 organisations onto the Framework. If more than 3
competent and experienced organisations submit a bid, then the 3 highest scoring bidders
will be placed on the framework.

have set an overall value of call offs from this Framework which will be up to £5 million.
