Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process concerns the North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust's tender for "Clinical Waste" services, under the industry category of clinical-waste collection services. Located in Trentham, Staffordshire, United Kingdom, the tender was structured as a selective process executed via a call-off from an SBS framework agreement. The tender stage has been completed, with Sharpsmart Ltd being awarded the contract valued at £389,112. The contract period extends from 1st May 2026 to 30th April 2031. Although the tender period concluded on 25th April 2026, the procurement was operationalised beginning 1st May 2026.

This tender presents opportunities for SMEs specialising in waste disposal services to engage in long-term contracts with healthcare organisations, although this particular award did not mark a direct opportunity for SMEs based on the suitability criteria. The procurement’s nature as a framework-based call-off contract underlines the importance of pre-existing framework agreements to gain such opportunities. Businesses experienced in delivering environmental services with robust logistical capabilities to handle clinical waste would find themselves well-positioned for similar opportunities in the future.
