Eunomia were originally appointed in August 2024 and have been a key member of the wider team supporting the waste contract procurement providing expert advice and support to officers.
To date, the Council has spent £41139.36 with Eunomia. This is greater than the original estimates although it was not possible to estimate exactly how many hours of support would be required and the extent to which dialogue discussions with bidders would give rise to the need to amend or update documents. The additional work to be commissioned now is estimated at £4,800. Specifically, Eunomia will provide further support around pricing evaluation on receipt of the tender submissions.
Funding has been included in the 2025/26 budget for work associated with the review of options / tender for the Waste
