Standard Form of Waste Management Agreement

CIWM in conjunction with Clarkslegal LLP have produced this template for waste management contract or agreement.

Key objectives include:-

• The process of tendering, including good practice

Core Standard Conditions of Contract have been produced in conjunction with Clarkslegal LLP.
The standard conditions of contract and schedules will be a 'living' document meaning it will be updated as and when required.  Version 4 (October 2009) of the conditions and the schedules are now available.
