Who is bidding for incineration?

Oxfordshire has a problem of what to do with its waste. Having asked for tenders from interested businesses they found no one was interested. So what they have decided, in their wisdom to do is to incinerate the waste. Now it is commonly thought that incineration is about the worst possible option, by a long way, so we really must ask why? However there is another question - which business has tendered to provide an incinerator? I mean we are told there are no tenders. If there are no tenders then who on earth is the council going to build and maintain an incinerator! I am quite sure incinerators do not come for free - do they? For residents of Kidlington and nearby villages this is an even more important subject since two of the possible locations for this "free" incinerator are the Gosford Silo near the Water Eaton Park and Ride, and the Quarry at Shipton-on-Cherwell.
