The City Council wishes to engage a suitably qualified and experienced

Council is willing to consider proposals from prospective contractors
which depend on their existing facilities or facilities which are to be
developed in the future. However, the contractor must be able to commence
the delivery of the services under the contract by 2015/16.
The City Council is hosting a Market Awareness Day on 14.1.2010 at the
Civic Centre in Newcastle. Potential contractors are strongly encouraged
to attend. The event will provide an invaluable insight to the Council’s
requirements and give an opportunity for the industry to comment on the
proposed procurement.
To gain further details and book a place at the Market Awareness Day,
please contact Sherrie Knowles by 7.1.2010. Phone +44 1912773556.
The City Council will continue to engage with and inform the market prior

Please note that this notice has been issued by the Council purely as a
notification to potential contractors that the Council is considering
procuring this service and as a market sounding exercise. Any procurement
of waste management services by the Council will be carried out strictly
in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Public
Contracts Regulations 2006.
Potential contractors must note that a response to this notice does not
