Lots 1 and 2 (North) have a contract start date of 1 April 2026 and Lots 3 and 4 (South) have a contract start date of 24 November 2026; each lot has a four-year term with a possible three-year extension and all lots will expire concurrently. Collection area location maps are provided in the tender documents, and submissions must follow the supplied guidance and tender documents, respect word count limits, respond to all questions, and use the In-tend portal for all communications; opting in is required to participate.

Insight

This could suit companies experienced in large-scale food waste treatment and disposal operating across separate north/south service areas. Key considerations include managing staggered start dates (1 Apr 2026 for Lots 1–2; 24 Nov 2026 for Lots 3–4) with concurrent expiry, strict adherence to submission requirements including word count limits and answering all questions, and using the In-tend portal for communications.
