Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ipswich Borough Council procured metal bins for use as waste and rubbish containers. The requirement was for goods rather than works or services, with delivery across the East of England. The purchasing organisation was Ipswich Borough Council. The procurement therefore concerns suppliers able to manufacture, source or distribute metal waste bins and arrange delivery within the council’s operating area. The recorded requirement is focused on the bins themselves, rather than installation, maintenance, collection services or wider waste-management operations. Businesses specialising in commercial, municipal or public-sector waste containers are the most directly relevant, particularly those with distribution arrangements covering the East of England.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 15 August 2025 to Storm Environmental Ltd. It was run as a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The estimated procurement value was £197,880, while the awarded value was £164,900. The contract period ran from 8 September 2025 to 30 June 2026. The award is active and the tender record is complete. The successful supplier was identified as Storm Environmental Ltd, a small or medium-sized enterprise. This outcome shows that the council used a framework route to purchase the required goods and awarded the contract below the stated estimated value.

For a supplier assessing future opportunities with Ipswich Borough Council, this award demonstrates demand for metal waste and rubbish containers at a substantial local-authority scale. A credible competitor would need to supply suitable metal bins consistently, meet the practical requirements of public-sector purchasing, and deliver across the East of England. The successful supplier was an SME, and the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist manufacturers, distributors and environmental-equipment businesses can be relevant competitors. Businesses should therefore be able to combine dependable product supply with framework access, public-sector order handling and regional delivery capacity.
