Navigating municipal procurement challenges in a transitioning market

• In an ever-evolving waste management and recycling landscape, local authorities and municipalities face growing challenges in securing reliable, efficient, and cost-effective services. With shifting regulations, upcoming legislative changes such as packaging extended producer responsibility (pEPR) and deposit return scheme (DRS), and the urgent need to transition to a circular economy, procurement has become more critical than ever.

   

  Budget constraints and the pressure to “do more with less” can jeopardise essential services—leading to increased contamination rates, limited communication campaigns, and strained relationships with contractors. Navigating procurement processes effectively in this complex environment is crucial to ensuring quality service delivery and long-term resilience.

   

  Join us for this online session where industry experts share proven strategies and best practices from recent municipal procurements. Discover how to adapt your procurement approach to secure the services you need at the right price, while effectively addressing market transitions and regulatory changes.
