Waste Management Best Value Group


Summary

The NPAG Waste Management Best Value Group is a unique group enabling NHS waste managers to meet and share new ideas, evaluate tenders, discuss common problems, measure service providers performance, provide cost effective solutions, be creative and innovative in service design and network with others involved in the complex area of waste management. 


The group has been running for many years and has consequently developed a rich and multifarious membership which is continuously evolving. The group has continued to develop their relationships with other national agencies including the Environment Agency, NHS Improvement, NHS England, CIWM and NHS Digital. The members continue to act as a sounding board for these organisations, for example, the development of ERIC and HTM07-01.
