Waste Management — Public Procurement
Waste management is a statutory duty of municipal services of general interest and one of the largest procurement markets in the environmental field. Districts, independent cities and waste management associations award contracts for the collection, transport, sorting, recovery and disposal of municipal waste. Procurement procedures are regularly EU-wide and run over multi-year contract terms.

Challenges in tender discovery
Waste management procurements are structurally complex — a single waste disposal contract can cover dozens of waste fractions and collection areas. Tenders are awarded in numerous lots, each covering different services and areas.
Contract terms are often 5 to 10 years, so re-procurements are rare and hard to predict. Anyone missing the procurement window may have to wait years for the next opportunity.
