Total Quantity or Scope

ECC will be seeking to procure Services for the Delivery of Promotional Materials for a Food Waste Recycling Initiative. The successful contractor will be required to make arrangements for the receipt and temporary storage of promotional materials (flyers, leaflets and liners) for delivery to target households within the WCA areas covered by Colchester City Council, Brentwood Borough Council and Castlepoint Borough Council. The design of the materials will vary by each location and therefore the contractor will be required to store and allocate the stock appropriately. The contractor will be required to deliver a flyer to target households in Autumn 2024. The contractor will then be required to repeat delivery approximately three (3) weeks afterwards to the same households with a further leaflet and roll of compostable food waste caddy liners. Roll-out of the project will involve working closely with the Circular Economy Team at ECC and officers from each of the participating WCAs in Colchester, Castlepoint and Brentwood. The Supplier will be provided with each of the WCA’s ‘round data’ to inform pricing of the delivery service and planning for the exact households that will receive the package. The three WCA areas will need to be targeted simultaneously during the delivery roll-out period. The contractor will be required to regularly report on progress and arrange delivery of unused stock at the end of the initiative back to ECC.
