Summary of the contracting process

Colchester City Council, located in Colchester, UK, has recently awarded a contract titled "GB-Colchester: 0459-PA - Garden Waste Collection Service Permits" concerning the procurement of advertising stickers and strips. The open procurement procedure was designed to acquire non-personalised and personalised garden waste collection service permits, aiming to increase awareness among residents who have subscribed to the service. With a contract value of £33,000 for the initial phase, the contract period extends from 10th November 2025 to 31st March 2027, allowing for further extensions through the 2028/29 financial period. This contract falls within the industry category coded as CPV 22459100, targeting the East of England region. The formal tender process concluded on 10th September 2025, with Latcham Direct Ltd, a Bristol-based SME, being selected as the supplier.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing and distributing advertising materials, particularly SMEs, as indicated by the council's open procurement method. The contract offers potential growth for companies that have expertise in producing large volumes of stickers efficiently, given the need for both non-personalised and personalised options. The decision to partner with Latcham Direct Ltd underscores the project's potential for small and medium enterprises to engage with public sector opportunities, paving the way for further business development and networking within municipal contracts in the UK.
