As the Waste Disposal Authority, the Authority is responsible for the transfer, transport, treatment, and disposal of all local authority collected waste within Merseyside, totalling approximately 500,000 tonnes of material each year. The scale of this operation requires a significant amount of infrastructure; this includes a network of transfer facilities for both bulking and onward transportation of waste and recycling, along with treatment and processing facilities both within Merseyside and beyond. MRWA holds two large waste management contracts: a waste disposal contract for residual waste, referred to as the Resource Recovery Contract and a waste management contract for recyclable waste, and the transfer and haulage of residual waste, referred to as the Waste Management and Recycling Contract (WMRC). The WMRC will come to an end in 2029 and a decision has been made to procure future arrangements for the management of recyclable waste and transfer and haulage of recyclables and residual waste. The two current Materials Recovery Facilities (MRF) at Gillmoss and Bidston are aged and are not designed to sort the additional materials required by UK Government's Simpler Recycling initiative, and the Household Waste Recycling Centres(HWRCs) are mostly outdated and in need of modernising to current standards. The replacement for the WMRC will be a disaggregated model and will comprise of four contracts: • Contract 1: HWH - comprising of the HWRCs, Waste Transfer Stations and Haulage • Contract 2: MRF - a new build Materials Recovery Facility • Contract 3: Garden Waste (Merchant Contract) • Contract 4: Food Waste (Merchant Contract) This market engagement document seeks feedback on a number of important considerations for the Authority's procurement of a new MRF facility under the proposed new Contract 2. Further information on this notice can be obtained via the email address referenced in this notice emailing the address listed within this notice The Authority is obliged to comply with the public procurement regime. A fair and transparent process will be undertaken which will be designed to arrive at the right decision without being overly burdensome. To ensure that this forthcoming process is successful for both the Authority and the appointed supplier, it is important to design a procurement process which facilitates the best possible result supported by a contract model w... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/merseyside-waste-disposal-authority-future-arrangements-for-waste-management-ocds-h6vhtk-06ba2c) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 90514000 - **Delivery regions:** UKD - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 01/11/2028 to 31/10/2053 - **Renewal published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F058595-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-06-22T14:06:20.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-22T14:59:28.621Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-06ba2c
