UK public contract notice 05304-2023 — West Midlands Combined Authority

The goal of WMISN Demonstrator will be to unlock and realise industrial symbiosis opportunities in the WMCA area, increasing circularity by focusing on strategically important material flows and testing the overall approach for WMCA to seek follow on funding should the demonstrator succeed. Our analysis, as part of preparing for this project, identifies the following key material flows for the WMCA area: wastewater, sand and metals.

The estimated contract value for this project is between £145-155k (exc. VAT). The indicative contract duration will be March 2024 until March 2025 (12 months).

Please note however that the WMCA Environment Team are actively looking to secure further funding to support delivery of an ongoing industrial symbiosis programme. Working with the assumption that further funding is secured, the WMCA will be incorporating two separate 1-year extension options into this contract (12 months + 12 months) to ensure they can provide seamless continuity in delivery if necessary. Both extension options are estimated to be £100k in value each, meaning a total potential contract value of £355k (exc. VAT) over a 3-year period.
