Waste disposal tenders can cover a range of services across a variety of homes, businesses, buildings and public facilities. They are often noted as waste collection, disposal and recycling service contracts. The cleaning sector, in general, is vast and waste disposal tenders could be needed in areas such as:

The weighting of the tender can range from 70% quality and 30% price or 80% quality and 20% price. If you are submitting a waste disposal tender for central government contracts, there is a mandatory 10% on social value. The social value is included within the quality response.
