Opportunity overview

Shropshire Towns and Rural Housing Limited (STAR Housing) is undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement to inform the proposed procurement of a contract for Waste – Cesspit Services including emptying, inspection and associated maintenance services. STAR Housing currently has 28 sites within Shropshire requiring planned cesspit emptying. The anticipated servicing profile is: • 25 sites requiring weekly emptying; and • 3 sites requiring quarterly emptying. In addition to planned emptying, the proposed service is expected to include appropriate inspection and maintenance duties, together with the ability to respond to unplanned or emergency requirements where necessary. The purpose of this Preliminary Market Engagement is to understand the capacity and capability of the market to deliver the requirement and to help STAR Housing develop an appropriate specification, pricing structure, performance regime and procurement strategy. STAR Housing wishes to understand: • whether suppliers have sufficient operational and tanker capacity to reliably service the required locations and frequencies; • how planned and emergency services should best be organised; • the maintenance and inspection services that the market can reasonably provide alongside emptying; • appropriate and transparent charging arrangements; and • any changes to the proposed approach that could improve service quality, resilience, environmental performance or value for money. This Preliminary Market Engagement does not constitute a call for competition or a commitment by STAR Housing to undertake a subsequent procurement.
