Mystery bidder appointed on £250m waste contract

Three Norfolk councils have voted to appoint a preferred bidder for a joint waste contract worth £250m.

Breckland Council (BC), North Norfolk District Council (NNDC) and King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council decided to pursue the procurement in 2017.

However, the identity of the bidder remains secret after Breckland held a meeting to confirm the appointment in secret.
