Published requirement description

Maidstone Borough Council (MBC) is looking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced company to provide a waste disposal and recycling service for 11 of its operational sites. These locations, in the borough of Maidstone, vary in nature and function, including office buildings, a residential and community venue, a market hall, listed buildings, a cemetery, and a crematorium. Each site presents unique operational requirements, and we are looking for a supplier who can offer flexible, compliant, and sustainable waste management solutions tailored to these varied environments.

What this means for your bid

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
