Hi
Not a recommendation for consultants, but this might be useful information for your RFP:
Home composting diversion: household level analysis
WRAP the United Kingdom agency, has recently published this report which evaluates the effectiveness of home composting in diverting waste from kerbside collections. You can read this report at : http://www.wrap.org.uk/downloads/Home_Composting_Diversion_Household_Level_Analysis.a2f1e987.7748.pdf
This Defra report on Household Waste Prevention Policies and Practices might also be useful. I've only taken a quick look - it's an overview document, and has some information about home composting and references to other reports : http://randd.defra.gov.uk/Document.aspx?Document=WR1204_8439_OTH.pdf
Kind regards
