Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

BIP Solutions Limited is facilitating the procurement process for handling recyclable materials, a tender relevant to the refuse recycling services industry. The procurement relates to a contract for non-residual waste disposal by the North East Essex Council, set in the East of England, UK. Initially published on 26 June 2026, this tender is currently active with a contract period from 1 August 2027 to 31 July 2028. The procurement method is selective, utilising a restricted procedure above the threshold. This extension was deemed necessary due to unforeseen circumstances related to Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) in 2027/28, ensuring service continuity whilst allowing North East Essex Council to make subsequent re-procurement decisions. The deadline for the tender period is 1 June 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) interested in providing recycling services. Companies with expertise in refuse recycling services can leverage this opportunity to establish or expand their presence within the East of England region. The continuity of services required due to LGR ensures a stable market and potential for long-term partnerships and strategic growth. Engaging with this tender could allow businesses to align with a public body, providing increased visibility and further opportunities within the public sector.
