Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured healthcare offensive-waste collection services using wheelie bins from its peripheral sites. The requirement covers the regular collection of offensive waste rather than clinical treatment or disposal services being separately described. It is a services contract within the clinical-waste collection category, with delivery centred on the Trust’s peripheral locations in Leeds, including the Beckett Street area. The work is relevant to operators providing healthcare waste collections, scheduled bin servicing, transport and associated site logistics. The requirement is linked to the Trust’s NHS healthcare operations and concerns the handling of offensive waste generated away from its main sites. Businesses assessing their fit should focus on practical experience of collecting offensive waste in healthcare environments and servicing multiple peripheral locations.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an other procurement method. Bids had to be submitted by 1 May 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Sharpsmart Limited on 27 May 2026 for £297,186.90, including the stated five-year contract period from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2031. The procurement’s estimated value range was £247,655.76 to £297,186.90. The award is active and covers the complete requirement rather than separately identified lots. The opportunity was not designated as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published outcome identifies Sharpsmart Limited as the selected supplier for Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

For suppliers that did not win, this award provides a clear benchmark for the type of operator Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust selected for offensive-waste collections at peripheral healthcare sites. A credible competitor would need established capability in healthcare waste collection, including safe handling of offensive waste and reliable wheelie-bin servicing. It would also need the operational capacity to coordinate collections across multiple sites, maintain dependable schedules and meet healthcare-site access, hygiene and service-control requirements. The selected supplier is a large business, indicating that the requirement was treated as unsuitable for SMEs and may favour organisations with substantial vehicles, trained staff, compliance systems and operational resilience. Experience delivering comparable clinical or healthcare waste collection contracts would strengthen a future supplier’s position when this buyer next reviews the requirement.
