Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is asking suppliers about ways to manage and treat biological waste. The trust wants to understand whether changes in treatment, transport or service delivery could reduce emissions and reliance on existing disposal methods.
What suppliers are being asked
Its preliminary notice covers possible on-site and off-site treatment, equipment supply, rental and managed services. The trust is considering food and catering waste alongside other biological waste streams. Suppliers are invited to describe their approach, experience and any procurement framework they can use.
What happens next
The notice gives 1st January 2027 as the engagement due date. The trust will use responses to inform its requirements and decide how it might procure the service. No supplier or treatment system has been selected.
