Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Lincoln procured a fully managed waste management service across its campuses. The requirement covers refuse and waste-related services, with delivery across the university’s campuses in the East Midlands. It is a services contract intended to manage the university’s waste operations as a whole rather than provide a single waste stream or isolated collection service. The buyer is the University of Lincoln, based in Lincoln. The procurement was structured as a call-off from the London Universities Purchasing Consortium’s Waste Management Services (Sustainable) Framework, specifically its Total Waste Management lot. This is therefore relevant to waste management companies able to deliver an integrated service across multiple university sites and coordinate collection, handling and wider waste management activities.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Biffa Waste Services Limited on 2 July 2026. The awarded value is £1,090,000. The award contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The wider procurement states an initial three-year term followed by two possible 12-month extensions, giving a potential contract period to 31 August 2031. The tender submission deadline was 19 May 2026 at 11:00. The route was a selective further competition under Lot 1 of the LUPC Waste Management Services (Sustainable) Framework, reference EFM5076 LU, dated 26 June 2023. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was evaluated through the framework’s further-competition process.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from the University of Lincoln for a single provider to manage waste services across a multi-campus estate in the East Midlands. The successful market position is suited to an established waste operator, or a capable SME consortium, with the operational capacity to plan and deliver coordinated services across several university locations. Relevant strengths would include reliable collection and waste-handling operations, service management across campuses, adequate fleet and staffing capacity, and the ability to manage a broad total-waste requirement rather than one specialist stream. Suppliers seeking comparable work should also consider access to the LUPC sustainable waste-management framework and readiness to compete through a framework further competition, as this was the buyer’s chosen purchasing route.
